A £60,000 reward is now on offer as police hunt for a dangerous armed robber who "booted" the pregnant daughter of a multimillionaire.

The man in a balaclava pointed a shotgun at the wife and daughters of entrepreneur Robert Stiff at their mansion that backs onto Kingswood Golf Club in November.

Police said new leads have come in after last night’s Crimewatch reconstruction of the women being kicked, tied up and forced to hand over their jewellery and watches.

Victims Chloe and Katie Stiff, both in their 20s, run a fashion boutique, called RBYG, in Banstead High Street.

Their mother Catherine Stiff told the camera that she was terrified that Katie, who was six months pregnant, might lose her baby. The intruder entered while they were watching TV.

Mrs Stiff said: "When he put the gun to my cheek, I remember straining my eyes looking at it as he’s telling us to get up. I just felt everything drain from me, thinking he could kill me or worse kill them."

The gunman forced them to walk upstairs, open a safe and lie face down on the floor.

Mrs Stiff lied and told the robber her husband was coming back soon and he replied: "I’ll shoot him first. If I find anymore jewellery, I’ll kill you."

Afte being kicked and tied up, Chloe Stiff said: "I felt like he could hear my heart beating. I felt like my body was moving off the ground from where my heart was just beating so fast."

Police believe the gunman escaped through the golf club grounds after the attack at about 5.40pm on Wednesday, November 12.

A reward totalling £60,000 is now being offered for information that leads to his arrest and conviction.

After Crimewatch was aired last night, Detective Sergeant Steve Muncaster told BBC Surrey that police hope they have identified a potential witness seen at a station.

CCTV shows the man in a blue top arriving at Kingswood Train station at 3.27pm and returning at 6.47pm on the evening of the attack.

CCTV footage from Kingswood Golf Club car park at 4.32pm shows a man walking towards the back of the golf course. He was followed by a black Ford KA which did not park.

D Sgt Muncaster said residents should remain vigilant but: "I don’t believe the people of Kingswood need to be overly fearful of a return visit."
