MEMBERS of staff at a Southampton pub were threatened during a 'terrifying' burglary over the weekend.
Police were called to the Fleming Arms pub in Swaythling at 11.18pm on Sunday after receiving reports of forced entry to the venue.
A source told the Echo: "The staff involved are still terrified, you just don't expect something like this to happen, it's a very family orientated pub and you get a very close knit bunch of people there.
"I hope the people involved are caught and get their just desserts, it's really awful what happened."
