Hartlepool: So, there was this really scary incident where two guys broke into an elderly man’s home. They were demanding money, and one of them even had a hammer. Can you believe that?
The police are really hoping someone saw something because this happened on Galsworthy Road around 8:15 PM on a Saturday night. Not exactly the time you want to be dealing with that kind of trouble.
According to the police, these two thugs knocked on the man’s door before forcing their way inside. They ended up taking about £40 in cash, but thankfully, the elderly man wasn’t hurt.
One of the suspects is described as a slim white guy, about 5’10”, wearing a green jacket and jeans. The other one is taller, around 6 feet, and also wearing a black jacket. They both had their faces covered, which is just so brazen.
If anyone saw anything suspicious or has CCTV footage, the police are asking you to reach out to them. They want to catch these guys and make sure this doesn’t happen again.
