Robbers' threat to budgie

Police are hunting three men who threatened to kill a great-grandmother's pet budgie if she did not tell them where she kept her money.

The gang tricked their way into the 87-year-old's home in Eggborough, North Yorkshire, claiming they needed to turn off her water supply.

They then threatened to kill her pet budgie unless she pointed out her stash - which she had saved up to buy treats for her great-grandchildren.
