A father and daughter have been threatened at knifepoint by a robber wearing a green and white mask at their own front door. John Redmile, 67, and his daughter Mandy, 41, of Bracknell Crescent, Whitemoor, were at home at around 9pm on Friday when they heard a knock at the door.
Mandy, who has Spina Bifida and uses a wheelchair, answered the door and was confronted by a black man with a knife. The man, who was in his early 30s, wore a mask covering his mouth and demanded money.
He barged into the house and Mr Redmile gave him some cash, but the robber proceeded to search the house for more. He found further money within the house, as well as Mandy’s iPhone, and fled with the items. Neither victims were injured during the incident, but both were left extremely shaken by the ordeal.
The man is black, of slim build and around 6ft tall. He wore dark clothing and a green and white covering over his face. Mr Redmile said: “Mandy used to enjoy going out but is very wary now following what happened - she’s scared something is going to happen to her. “Money and phones can be replaced; I would like him to be caught to make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone else.”
Detective Constable Ian Holmes added: “This was a terrifying intrusion into the home of a father and his daughter who were enjoying an evening at home. “I appeal to anyone who saw the man we have described in the moments before or after the robbery, and to anyone who knows his identity.
“He carried out a despicable offence and we will do all we can to find him and ensure he doesn’t do this to anyone else.” Anyone with information should contact Nottinghamshire Police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 .
Residents are being urged to always lock their doors, even when at home, and keep windows closed especially at night.

Claims that sex offenders are being freed from HMP Whatton without treatment
PEOPLE could be at risk because sex offenders are being released from a specialist Notts jail without treatment, it is claimed.
"Inadequate" funding at HMP Whatton, near Bingham, means some inmates are not undergoing psychological programmes to try to stop them re-offending.
The claim is made by the jail's Independent Monitoring Board in a report out today.
Board chairman Dr Ed Pollock said he was worried about a risk to the public because the lack of Government cash at the prison means there are not enough psychologists to treat prisoners.
It follows a report in June which said dozens of Whatton inmates were let out in 2011 after serving their sentences but without having the recommended treatment.
The jail is the largest for sex offenders in Europe and specialises in psychological programmes. Mr Pollock said: "We as a board don't know what happens to prisoners when they are released but what we are worried about is potentially some are being released without having their risk of re-offending reduced. It's been raised a few times and we have written to the Minister, Jeremy Wright, about this."
The jail has 840 prisoners, 70 per cent of whom have committed sex crimes against children. All volunteer to be sent to Whatton for treatment.
The jail employs psychologists to try to change prisoners' behaviour and thinking before release to cut the chances of them striking again.
The board has found that 46 inmates were let out last year without having treatment programmes. In the report, Nick Hardwick, Chief Inspector of Prisons, said: "It was concerning that not all sex offenders who required it were receiving treatment they needed.
"In the interests of the individuals concerned and the communities to which they were returning, this needed to be addressed."
Prisoners are monitored on release by police and the probation service. Whatton governor Lynn Saunders said: "We have made applications for further funding and hopefully this will be forthcoming."
"We do our best to ensure every prisoner undergoes treatment but some don't for a variety of reasons including resources, finances and prisoners arriving without sufficient time left on their sentences to carry out a programme."
Today's report is also expected to say day-to-day the prison is well operated and safe.
A Prison Service spokesman said: "We thank the Independent Monitoring Board for Whatton for their report, which will be fully considered by Ministers. We will respond to the board in due course."

Would-be illegal immigrants found heading for Ilkeston
Six would-be illegal immigrants have been found hiding in a lorry bound for Ilkeston.
The men, all from India, were discovered at the Port of Coquelles in north France as the lorry they were in waited to board the Eurotunnel train.
Border Force staff used a carbon dioxide probe to detect the group, who were crouched in boxes containing car parts on September 6.
The stowaways were handed over to French border police.

Mandela is a murderer - don't forget it
Why do people seem not to realise that Nelson Mandela is a proven terrorist, killer and murderer?
He has killed and murdered and lived a life of luxury in his so called jail, while at no time ever disassociated himself from or condemned the violence and terrorist activities of his so called political party that he stood by all his life.
He continually attacks U.S. "imperialism" and "arrogance" while voicing support for the likes of Libya, Iraq, and Cuba. This is not surprising. Mandela did support violence in the past - a fact that is largely forgotten or trivialized. Indeed, in 1961 he was the founder of Umkhonto we Siswe ("Spear of the People"), ANC's terrorist arm, and never during his long years in prison did he condemn that organization's acts of indiscriminate terrorism. Moreover, throughout his career Mandela has remained close to regimes actively supporting terrorism - the former Soviet Union, Libya and Cuba.

THE MAN WHO WROTE THIS HAS IT ALL COVERED
"I am the Tory Party's Worst Nightmare. I am a White, Tax-Paying, God fearing English man. I am a hard working Brit and I work long hours to earn a living.
I believe in God and the freedom of religion, but I don't push it on others. I believe in British products and buy them whenever I can.
I believe the money I make belongs to me and not to some governmental functionary, to share with others who don't work!
I think owning a home doesn't make you a capitalist; it makes you a smart Brit. I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything. Get over it. Join in with the majority!
I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, you should do it in English. I believe there should be no other language option.
I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.
My heroes are fellow Brits like Freddy Flintoff and Winston Churchill and I know I've missed a few thousand!!!!! I don't hate the rich. What I hate is the way they always manage to avoid paying proper taxes. I don't pity the poor, I just hate the way they are always moaning that they are hard done by!! I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.
I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country!
This is ENGLAND.....We like it the way it is and even more so the way it was...so stop trying to change it to look like some other socialist country! If you were born or legally migrated here and don't like it... you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you. I believe it is time to really clean house, starting with the House of Commons, the seat of our biggest problems.
I want to know where the "Do Gooders" get their money from, and why are they always part of the problem and not the solution?
Can I get an AMEN on that one?
I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what race, colour or creed you are. And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my driving licence. I think it's good....
I dislike those people trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause....Get a job and support yourself and your family!
I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think!
I believe the Union Jack flag should be allowed to be flown anywhere in the United Kingdom !
If this makes me a BAD Brit, then yes, I'm a BAD Brit. If you are a BAD Brit too, please forward this to everyone you know....
We want our country back! My Country..... I hope this offends all illegal aliens.
My great, great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Boer War. My grandfather watched and bled as his friends died in World Wars 1&2. I watched as my friends died in Sierra Leone Bosnia, & Desert Storm. Our sons and daughters watched & bled as their friends died in Afghanistan and Iraq . None of them died for the Afghanistan and Iraq Flag.. Every Briton died for the British flag.
At one high school, foreign students raised a Middle East flag on a school flag pole. British students took it down. Guess who was expelled...the students who took it down.
West London high school students were sent home, because they wore T-shirts with the Union Jack flag printed on them.
What is going on?? What idiots do we have in authority?? Enough is enough.
This message needs to be viewed by every Brit; and every Briton needs to stand up for Britian. We've bent over to appease the Brit-haters long enough. I'm taking a stand.
I'm standing up because of the millions who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the British flag.
And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message. IT IS NOT !
Britons, stop giving away Your RIGHTS !
THIS IS OUR COUNTRY !
This statement DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration !
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY, welcome to come legally:
1. Get a sponsor !
2. Learn the LANGUAGE, as immigrants have in the past!
3. Live by OUR rules ! Dress as we Britons Do
4. Get a job !
5. Pay YOUR Taxes !
6. No Social Security until you have earned it and paid for it !
7. Find a place to lay your head !
If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM !
We've gone so far the other way... bent over backwards not to offend anyone.
WAKE UP BRITAIN ! ! !
Made in BRITAIN & DAMN PROUD OF IT!!!!!"
