98 year old woman challenges burglars in her home in Wrexham
North Wales Police say she's shocked but not hurt
A 98-year-old woman challenged three people who attempted a sickening burglary'', police said.
North Wales Police said three people entered a property in Camberley Drive, Wrexham, late on Wednesday night.
They carried out an "untidy search, throwing furniture around in the attempt to find valuable items'' until a 98-year-old woman who lived at the address heard the noise and confronted them and the group left empty-handed.
Inspector Luke Hughes said: "The lady, whilst shocked, was not hurt in this incident.''
He added the woman will "no doubt'' be impacted by the burglary.
Officers have appealed for information about the trio - believed to be men - or anyone with CCTV of the area at around 11.30pm to contact them on 101.
