Appeal after burglars prey on elderly couple in their Maghull home
Police describe the incident as nasty
Police are appealing for help in finding three burglars who confronted an elderly woman in her Merseyside home.
The offenders knocked on the door of the property on Willow Hey, Maghull, shortly before midday on 1 June, 2017.
They then searched the house until finding a quantity of cash and fleeing in a dark coloured hatchback type vehicle in the direction of the East Lancs Road.
She opened the door to be confronted by the three offenders who forced their way into her property.
The victim’s elderly husband, who is bed bound, was unaware of what was taking place.
Today Detective Inspector Terry Davies said: "This was a particularly nasty crime against an elderly and vulnerable couple in their home.
"We will not tolerate criminals striking such fear into our communities and we are appealing for the public's help in finding the offenders so that we can bring them to justice.
"This incident happened in broad daylight in the middle of the day and we urge anybody who saw anything or who believes they may have information that could lead us to the offenders to come forward.
