A PENSIONER was shoved over and robbed when two men called at her home last night (Thursday, December 11).

The 76-year-old woman heard a knock at the door of her address on Urlay Nook Road, Eaglescliffe, at around 5.10pm on and when she answered the men forced their way into her home.

They searched her home and stole between £30 and £50 from her purse. She was left uninjured but shaken by the incident.

The first male is described as white, around 40 years old with facial stubble, dark hair, of thin build and wearing a dark coloured padded jacket, jeans and a dark coloured woollen hat, possibly with flaps over the ears. He was also wearing heavy, brown coloured hiking boots and had a local accent.

The second male is described as white and younger than the first male. He was wearing a dark coloured hat which was similar to a balaclava and his nose and mouth were covered with a scarf. He was also of thin build and spoke with a local accent.

Anyone with information regarding the incident or the identity of the suspects is asked to contact DC Alan O’Donoghue on the non-emergency number 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800-555111.
