CCTV Appeal Over Violent House Robbery, Leeds

Wednesday, 31 August 2016 09:08

Detectives investigating a violent robbery at a house in Leeds that left a 61-year-old woman with serious injuries have released CCTV images of the suspects.　

The victim was attacked at her home in Mount Pleasant Road, Pudsey, between 3pm and 3.30pm on Friday, August 19, by three men who entered through the open patio doors and threatened her with a knife.

She was punched and kicked leaving her with fractures to both sides of her jaw, a fractured wrist and cuts to her arms.　

The men stole a large amount of Asian gold jewellery.　

Detective Sergeant Andy Farrell, of Leeds District Crime Team, said: "This was a really cowardly attack that left the victim and her family badly traumatised and we urgently need to identify the men responsible. We are carrying out a range of enquiries to trace them and now have CCTV images of the suspects.　

"While two of the men are masked, the face of the third is visible and we would like to hear from anyone who thinks they know who that is. They are all wearing clothing with Adidas-style stripes which is another distinctive feature that could assist in identifying them as group when put together with the suspect's face."

Anyone with information is asked to contact DC 6587 Alex Daniels at Elland Road via 101 quoting crime number 13160357773 or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
