The offenders are reported to have burgled their victim’s home at Hall Park Head, Stannington, Sheffield, around Saturday, October 28, while he was at home and South Yorkshire Police are said to have been alerted.
Relative Bethany Gray-Towers said: “My children's grandad got broken into last night whilst he was home. Can people please keep an eye out for any of the below items either trying to be sold within the area or on Facebook.”

Ms Gray-Towers also said a beige purse with a zip, containing around £4,000 in cash, has been stolen.
She said her children’s grandfather was “fine but upset” and things could have been worse because he had been at home at the time on his own.
But Ms Gray-Towers added that burglars had also broken into the same victim’s property last week and she added that there are ‘some sick people out there’. It is not known if the same culprits were responsible for both.
