Thousands Stolen From Elderly Woman By Burglars

In the early morning hours of Friday, July 15, an elderly female was awakened by the sound of someone forcing open the rear door of her home.

The victim grabbed her purse containing $25,000 in cash and attempted to escape undetected. As she tried to exit through the front door, she dropped the purse, which was immediately retrieved by the suspects.

The victim went to a neighbor’s house and sought help as the suspects fled on foot. Witnesses saw the suspects drive away in a late model gray Chevrolet Malibu, prior to the arrival of Norwalk Sheriff’s Station deputies.

A neighbor found the victim’s purse in a nearby trash can, with the cash and a wedding ring missing from inside of it.

The victim told detectives she suffers from a severe medical condition and was saving the money to help pay for her anticipated funeral.
