Both men then left with a quantity of cash as well as items of sentimental value to the victim.

"We would like to speak with anyone who has information about the offence or who may have seen the suspects outside the property shortly before the incident, or leaving.

“One of them was described as white in his 40s, of average build and height with short greyish hair."

Anyone with information should contact Huddersfield CID on 101, quoting reference 13170584885 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
