  9. 92 year old Heckmondwike woman robbed by man posing as a window cleaner

    A woman in her 90's was robbed of £800 in cash by a man posing as a window cleaner in Heckmondwike.

    The robber asked for two pounds when the victim opened the door to him but then made off with hundreds in cash from the woman's purse yesterday afternoon on Walkley Lane.

    Police are looking for a white man with a medium build around 30 years old.

    Quote Message: This suspect targeted a vulnerable elderly lady and stole a large amount of money from her home. He was posing as a window cleaner and may have also spoken to other residents on this street and so we would like to hear from anyone who saw this man in the area, or if he approached your property. I would remind residents they are under no obligation to let cold callers into their homes and that genuine callers from local authorities or utilities will carry identification and have a number you can ring to confirm who they are. from Detective Constable Victoria Catania Kirklees CID
