THREE callous thieves have stuck at the home of a 78-year-old man in Warrington in a frenzied machete attack.
The victim, who as asleep at his home on Chester Road in Grappenhall, was struck over the hand with the machete as the thieves made off with a quantity of cash and £2,000 Rolex watch.
All three of the men were wearing balaclavas and dark track suits when they broke into the property, eventually forcing their way into the bedroom.
After bravely forcing the thieves from his home, the victim was left extremely shaken and nursing cuts to his hands.
It is not yet known which way the thieves headed after leaving the property, or if they had transport to make their getaway.
The stolen Rolex watch is described as having a gold face, with silver and gold metallic strap and the words “Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Just” written on it.
Anyone with any information about the robbery, which took place at around 1am on Friday, June 13, is urged to contact DC Darren Wright at the Warrington Specialist Investigation Unit on 01244 613 831, or, alternatively, leave information with Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
