Officers are appealing for information following a burglary at a home in Kegworth.
The incident happened at around 9.10pm on Monday April 14, 2008 when the victim, in her eighties, was in her home in the Wyvelle Crescent area.
She heard the front door open and two men ran into the living room. They pushed the woman onto the sofa before grabbing her black leather handbag which contained a quantity of cash.
They ran from the property along Wyvelle Crescent towards A6 London Road.
The suspects are described as white, around 20-years-old, of slim build and wearing dark clothing and hooded tops.
The woman was not injured in the incident but was later admitted to the Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham after complaining of breathing difficulties. She has since been discharged.
