Football pundit sends message to gang tweeting 'you won't get away with it' after wife and daughters 'terrifying ordeal'

IAN Wright is expected to land in the UK this afternoon as police launch a fresh appeal for help following a terrifying raid on the football star's London home.
Detectives revealed four armed men knocked on the TV star's front door, before forcing their way inside the house in Kensal Rise where they held his shaken family at knifepoint.

They then made off with a number of items including personal property and jewellery.
A police spokesman told OK! Online in a statement: "Detectives from Brent are appealing for the public's help in tracing four men who committed an aggravated burglary in north west London last night, 18 June.
"Officers were called to the house in Kensal Rise, NW10, at about 2120 last night. "After knocking on the front door four men, believed to be armed with knives, forced their way inside the house. They stole a number of items, including personal property and jewellery.
"The four suspects are described as black men, aged between 18-25. They are said to have spoken with London accents and were wearing dark clothing and hoodies obscuring their faces."

DCI Mick Gornall, who is leading the investigation, said: "We are trying to trace these four men, and I'd ask anyone who may know anything to get in touch with my team and help us.
"Fortunately no one was injured during the burglary, but it is still very frightening to have people force their way into your home and threaten you.
"Last night officers went to the address and started carrying out house to house enquiries, we are also seizing and reviewing CCTV."
Former footballer Ian was notified of his family's 'terrifying ordeal' last night, while working in Brazil for ITV at the World Cup.

He immediately made arrangements to fly home and tweeted: "You won't get away with it."
It's understood Ian's wife Nancy, 39, was threatened by one of the gang who held a knife to her throat, while the couple's two daughters were taken to another room.
The Sun reported that one of the raiders told another 'to punch her, kill her' as they rammed their way into the house.
A spokeswoman for the former Arsenal striker said: "Nancy is really shaken up. Ian is just really upset and angry and just want to come back and be with his family at this time."
