Police in Rotherham have issued an appeal for witnesses after a burglary at an elderly couples’ property earlier this week.
At around 12.40pm on Wednesday 26 September, it is reported that three unknown men knocked on the door of a property in the Greasbrough area of Rotherham, where a man and woman in their 70s live.
They claimed that someone was trying to burgle their house. They then entered the property and threatened the elderly couple, before taking a quantity of cash and fleeing the scene.
Neither victim was injured, but the couple have been left extremely distressed by the incident.
The men are described as being olive-skinned and all spoke with local accents.
One of the men is described as being a tall man in his late 20s, of large build, with a chunky face showing signs of stubble.
The other two men are described as being smaller in height, in their 20s, and had their faces covered.
All three men were reportedly wearing black clothing.
Do you live in the area? Did you see or hear anything suspicious?
Please call 101 quoting incident number 366 of 26 September 2018. You can also give information to Crimestoppers anonymously by calling 0800 555 111.

- wathupondearne Latest news in Yorkshire: Published March 23, 2019 08:47:49 AM A report which has agreed to allocate £250,000 from the Berneslai Homes surplus to support work on an affordable warmth programme for private sector housing over the next three years has been approved. Launching in March, at least 106 households will benefit from the overall programme, giving an average spend per property of £2,358. External funding of around £575,000 is also expected to be brought in, allowing hundreds more households to benefit. All energy efficiency works will be delivered through the existing Better Homes Barnsley framework and the new Warm Homes and Hospital Discharge team will help to assess need and eligibility for these schemes. The Barnsley energy tariff, the local energy supply offer provided by Great North Energy, will also be available to the residents who benefit from this programme, offering further potential for them to save money and be able to heat their homes to a comfortable level. The programme will be fully evaluated so that further funding can be secured to make it sustainable in the long-term. It will rely on referrals from health professionals and front-line council workers, although residents can self-refer. Councillor Roy Miller, Cabinet Spokesperson for Place, said: “There are currently around 11,500 households in fuel poverty in Barnsley and we also have above average rates of excess winter deaths. “This funding will allow the council to take a more holistic approach to tackling cold homes by joining up with other services to provide heating systems and insulation to the most vulnerable residents living in private sector housing.” Paul Hayes, Chair of Berneslai Homes Board, added: “Last year the Berneslai Homes Board agreed to spend some of its company surplus to support projects aimed at economic regeneration and the health and wellbeing of people in Barnsley. This is the first of those projects aimed at reducing fuel poverty. “We want all residents in Barnsley to have a home that is warm and safe to live in.” This news is linked to Town Spirit. We want to work better together. If everyone in Barnsley does just one thing, together we can make our borough a more welcoming place where people want to live, work and visit.
