Police described it as a 'despicable and cowardly attack'
Nottinghamshire Police are appealing to the public for help finding two men who attacked and robbed an elderly man with Alzheimer's in his own home. The victim, who is in his 80s, suffered cuts and bruises during the attack on Tuesday, November 1, at Chancery Court, in Wilford, at around 7.30pm.
Detectives say that a Rolex watch was stolen and that they would like to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time. Detective Sergeant Andy Buxton, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a despicable and cowardly attack on a vulnerable and defenceless victim. “I am sure the public will be every bit as disgusted as I am by this incident, and I am appealing directly to them to help us catch the people responsible. I urgently want to hear from anyone who noticed two men in the area yesterday evening or who noticed any vehicles that were out of place or acting suspiciously.“If you have CCTV or dashcam footage recorded in the area around this time please review it and contact us if you notice anything out of the ordinary.
He added: “This is a reprehensible crime and I am determined we get justice for the victim.” Anyone with any information about this case is asked to call 101, quoting incident 666 of November 1, or alternatively contact Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111.
