Thieves stole £800 in cash from an elderly Highworth couple who had been saving up for a holiday last Wednesday.

The pair were in the living room of their Cotswold Avenue bungalow when the intruders forced a bedroom window. The thieves also stole £100 worth of television licence stamps during the raid, which took place between 8.30pm and 9.30pm on March 24.

Police believe the offenders had been trying the doors of bungalows in King's Avenue between 7.30pm and 8pm. Anyone with information should call Highworth police on 01793 762251.
