Pensioner shaken by robbery
Police are looking for three men who ransacked the home of an 85-year-old Derbyshire woman.

The woman was left extremely shaken by the break-in Codnor, which happened on Wednesday night.

The pensioner told police she was shocked to discover the three men - aged between 20 and 30 years old - in her house.

As she tried to call for help, one of the men prevented her from using the phone.

Derbyshire Police said the intruders ransacked the house and left with around £150 worth of goods.

The woman was left unhurt but extremely upset.

Police say they urgently need to speak to anyone with information about the three men - one of whom was wearing a blue top and blue trousers.
