Appeal for witnesses after woman left unconscious in burglary

We are appealing for witnesses after a woman was left with a head and shoulder injury after a burglary in Chippenham.

The incident happened in Hunters Field around 9.30pm last night (2/11).

The 60-year-old had left her home unlocked while she collected items from her car. When she returned, she found three boys in her living room, which she describes as aged between 10 and 15 years old, wearing dark ripped jeans and dark hoodies.

She reports she was then pushed and banged her head. The victim has laid unconscious on the floor for several hours. When she has come to, she has discovered £120 in cash missing from her wallet.

The victim has been taken to the Royal United Hospital in Bath for treatment to an injury to her head and shoulder.
