Woman in nineties robbed in her own home

Date published: 29 July 2013


A pensioner in her nineties was robbed by heartless confidence tricksters posing as employees of Age Concern.

Around 12.30pm on 26 July 2013 the offenders were invited into the property on Hollin Lane in Middleton and, whilst the elderly lady went into the kitchen to make a cup of tea, leaving the offenders in the living room, they stole £210 from her bag.

The offenders are both described as Asian, one male, one female.

The male aged between 40 and 45, six feet tall, medium build, jet black hair that is short and thin on top, dark coloured eyes. He was clean shaven and wearing a blue sweater, with white writing on the stomach area, and navy blue trousers.

The female aged between 32 and 35, five feet one tall, fat build with shortish black hair and dark coloured eyes. She was wearing a pink short-sleeved top and white, just below knee length, skirt.

Can you assist in identifying these offenders? If so please call the police on 101.
