Elderly couple burgled in Whittington
An elderly couple from Whittington were the victims of a burglary at the weekend.
Two young men burgled their home in Boot Street, making off with a quantity of cash.
The break-in happened at around 2.30pm on Saturday after a door was forced open and a search was made of various rooms.
Detective Constable Rob Buxton, the investigating officer, said two men were disturbed and ran off down Boot Street towards the church before turning right in front of the church and going out of view.
He said: “I am appealing for witnesses who may have seen suspicious activity in the Boot Street area at around 2.30pm on Saturday.
“I am also asking anyone with information about the identities of the offenders, to please contact me at Shrewsbury police station on 101.”
Both men were white and in their early twenties wearing beanie style hats, one grey and the other black.
One of them had mousy coloured or ginger hair. Both were described as smart looking and one was wearing a slate grey jacket and black trousers.
Information concerning their identities can also be given to the anonymous Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111 or via www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
