CCTV image released after elderly woman is robbed in Telford
Police have released a CCTV image of a man they wish to speak to in connection with a robbery in the Madeley area of Telford on Monday 7 July.
The robbery happened at around 5.30pm at the back of the community hall, near to Meadcroft in the area of Madeley in Telford.
The 71-year-old victim was approached by the offender who pushed her over and then ran off with her handbag.
She was left with serious injuries, including a broken hip, which later required a full hip replacement.
The offender was wearing a dark jacket, royal blue coloured hooded top, dark bottoms and trainers.
DC Katie Morgan, the investigating officer, said: "The elderly victim of this robbery received serious and life changing injuries due to this crime. Although she has made some progress, she is still recovering from the incident, emotionally and physically, with thanks to good support from family and friends.
"I urge anyone who recognises the man in the image to call police as he may be able to help us with our inquiries. The clothing is quite distinctive so hopefully someone might recognise him."
Police are anxious to identify the individual in the image and ask for anyone who recognises him to call 101, quoting incident number 533S of Monday 7 July.
