FOOTBALL ace Gareth Bale and his wife Emma were shocked after armed raiders burst into a relative’s home.
Emma’s aunt was left shaken after up to four masked men brandishing shotguns broke in.
One of the intruders, believed to be the gunman, demanded: “Where’s the gold? We want the gold.”
One man has been arrested but police are hunting the rest of the gang.
Emma’s favourite aunt, who runs her own business, told the gang there was no gold in her house and they fled empty-handed.
Police were called and a cordon put around the family’s three-bedroom home in North Wales.

Gareth, 33, now with Los Angeles FC, was playing for Wales in the World Cup in Qatar at the time of the raid.
A family source said: “Gareth and Emma are shocked and really concerned that a gun was used to make threats.
“We don’t know why Emma’s aunt was targeted. They seemed to be asking for a haul of gold. It has left Emma’s aunt and her family terrified.”
She moved out of the property temporarily. The early-hours raid on November 29 is said not to be connected to a 2016 drug gang vendetta in Cardiff which Gareth and Emma, 31, became caught up in.
