"We were absolutely terrified," McQueen revealed in an emotional statement. "Hearing strangers forcing their way into your home while you're inside is everyone's worst nightmare come true."
The actress, best known for her role as Much in the popular ITV series, described how the violent intruders ransacked the property while the family feared for their safety. The psychological impact of the invasion has left lasting scars on all involved.
Ongoing Police Investigation
Greater Manchester Police have confirmed they are treating the break-in as an aggravated burglary and have launched a full-scale investigation. Authorities are appealing to the public for any information that could lead to identifying the perpetrators.
Detectives are particularly interested in speaking with anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity in the area around the time of the incident or who might have captured relevant doorbell or CCTV footage.
