Detectives in Bradford are appealing for the public’s help after a 90-year-old woman was robbed in her home.
Police were called shortly after 5.00am on Saturday 4 August to a report that a man had entered the elderly victim’s home in the Little Horton area of Bradford and assaulted her before leaving with cash that the victim had in the property.
The victim was taken to hospital by ambulance and is continuing to receive treatment.
The suspect is described as wearing all black and a balaclava.
Detective Inspector Amanda Middleton, of Bradford District CID, said: “Quite rightly, I believe this incident will cause outrage to the general public that someone would attack an elderly, vulnerable woman in her own home.
“I can ensure the local community that an extensive investigation is already underway and we are committed to identifying the perpetrator and ensuring they are brought to justice.
“As part of this investigation, we are keen to hear from anyone who heard or witnessed anything suspicious in the area around the time of this offence or with any information that could help us identify the person responsible for this cowardly and reprehensible crime.”
