An elderly woman was robbed after two men forced their way into her home.
A 76-year-old woman heard a knock at the door of her house on Urlay Nook Road in Eaglescliffe at around 5.10pm and when she answered she was pushed aside by two men.
After searching her house they stole between £30 and £50 from her purse.
She was left uninjured but shaken by her ordeal.
Cleveland Police are appealing for information following the robbery last night.
The first man is described as white, around 40 years old with facial stubble, dark hair, of thin build and wearing a dark padded jacket, jeans and a dark woollen hat, possibly with flaps over the ears.
He was also wearing heavy, brown hiking boots and had a local accent.
The second male is described as white, wearing a dark coloured hat which was similar to a balaclava and his nose and mouth were covered with a scarf. He was also of thin build and spoke with a local accent.
Anyone with information is urged to call DC Alan O’Donoghue on the non-emergency number 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
