Sheffield pensioner robbed at gunpoint in own home

South Yorkshire Police have released an e-fit today of a man believed to have been involved in the robbery of a 71-year-old man in High Green.

He was one of three people involved in the robbery, which occurred in broad daylight.

The incident happened at around 3.30pm on Saturday, February 20, when the victim was in his home in Charles Square, High Green.

One man knocked on the pensioner’s door, which he went to answer as two other men smashed a window and got into the property.

The trio threatened the man and demanded money - with one, described as wearing a blue hooded jacket, threatening the victim with a gun.

They inflicted what police describe as ‘minor injuries’ on the OAP, before fleeing the property with money.

A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said: “Do you recognise the man pictured? Did you see a group of men behaving suspiciously in the High Green area on that Saturday afternoon?”
