Hannibal Lecter mask gang threaten 15-year-old at home and steal motorbike

Three men wearing Hannibal Lecter masks broke into a house in Birmingham and threatened a 15-year-old girl before taking an expensive motorbike.

They wore masks similar to the restraint used on serial killer Lecter in the film The Silence of The Lambs.

The gang forced into the home of Tim and Angela Styles, in Stockland Green, at 3.30pm last Wednesday.

Their daughter, Reanne, had come home from school and was in her room when she heard a voice and went downstairs, assuming it was her mother.

The men, wearing white, blue and black masks, shouted to her that she should quickly run back to her room or she would be seriously hurt.

There was no other damage to the house or to the family’s other property. She and Tim, aged 41, live there with Reanne and their three other children.
