Mrs Jainub Khan said she heard a noise around 03:00 but didn’t see anything when she went to investigate.
At 03:30, when Mr Habib Khan woke up for prayer, he discovered a broken window.
The suspects broke a precast garden wall slab to gain entry into the yard and then broke a window to get into the house.
