Investigating officer Hannah Goodwin, of South Yorkshire Police, said: “The victim in this case is an elderly man, who suffers from Parkinson’s disease.

“He and his family have naturally been left distressed by the incident, in which an unknown offender has searched through personal belongings whilst his victim was asleep.

“Burglary can have a significant impact, more so when the victim is vulnerable – if you can help my enquiry, please get in touch.”
