Kerry Katona and Family Held Captive by Gang Wielding Weapons

Kerry Katona, singer, her husband, Mark Croft, and their baby, Heidi, were held prisoner in their own home by three masked burglars. The men were armed with a sledgehammer, a crowbar and a knife.

Apparently, they locked Kerry and Heidi in a room around midnight while they made Mark take them through the house, which is in Wilmslow, Cheshire in England. After the thieves took what they wanted, including the car, they left the three of them in the room. The family was able to escape, unharmed, shortly after.

Authorities stated that the family was "extremely alarmed." Really? Extremely? It scared me and I'm in California. I don't care if the guys were wielding pieces from the trailer park version of Clue or had bombs strapped to their bellies. Intrusion and the safety of ones family, especially a child, that stuff tends to be alarming. Extremely. Glad they're okay.
