Thursday 9th February 2012
Detectives are appealing for information after an 89-year-old woman’s home was burgled and cash stolen.
At about 3pm on Monday, February 6, a man entered the elderly woman’s home in Heath Road, Petersfield, via an insecure kitchen door, which she was at home.
The man stole a handbag containing £100 in cash, which had been left on the kitchen table.
The man is described as white, aged 18 to 25, of average build, about 5ft8-9ins tall and had mid-brown coloured hair.
Detective Constable Ewan Gardner said: “This was a brazen, daylight burglary by what we believe is an opportunist burglar.
“I am keen to speak to anyone who saw any suspicious persons or vehicles in the Petersfield area that day, or had any suspicious callers.”
Anyone with any information is asked to contact DC Gardner at Alton Police Station on 101 or via the website www.hampshire.police.uk/internet/contact/message_officer.htm
You can also call the charity Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111 where information can be left anonymously.
