Elderly woman robbed in her Aston home

Police said the raid happened at Aughton Lane at 1.15pm yesterday.

The woman in her 80s was not injured but has been left incredibly distressed by the incident, a spokeswoman added.

“It is believed that two suspects entered the property and threatened her before stealing her handbag,” said the police spokeswoman.
