SYDNEY, April 3 AAP - Three masked men have stormed a Sydney woman's home while she was watching television, threatening her with a knife and making off with a number of items, including a plasma TV.
Police say the men wore balaclavas when they entered the house at Oatlands, in Sydney's west, about 10.20pm (AEDT) on Thursday.
They threatened her with a knife, tied her up and covered her face while they ransacked the house for about 45 minutes.
The men stole a large number of valuables, including a laptop computer, digital cameras and a plasma TV.
Once the offenders left, the woman freed herself and contacted police.
