An elderly couple have been robbed at their home in Wateringbury by men in balaclavas.

The pair, in their 80s and living at Apple Acres Retreat Mobile Home Park, answered a knock at their door on December 10 just before 5pm to find two white men in balaclavas.

They demanded cash, wrongly believing that money was kept at the site.

The victim, aged 88 years-old, received minor injuries during a struggle. His wife was threatened and had an item - possibly a screwdriver - held against her, but was uninjured.

The two men were approximately 5ft 9in tall, with one wearing a black balaclava, and the other a brown one.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Detective Constable Steve Smith at Tonbridge police station by calling 01732 379205 or contact Kent Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111, quoting crime reference YY/25058/14.
