Appeal fund for Maltby burglary victim Tommy Ward (80) nears £14,000

Tommy Ward’s family issued pictures on Facebook showing the horrific injuries he suffered in the incident at Salisbury Road, Maltby, last weekend.

A GoFundMe online appeal page set up for him has been flooded with contributions and messages of support.

Police today renewed their appeal for information about a safe stolen in the raid on October 1.

The safe, which is light grey and has a key lock, is just big enough to accommodate A4 documents and weighs around 7kg.

Two 19-year-old men were arrested last week on suspicion of attempted murder and burglary and released on police bail.

Police said that Mr Ward remained “very unwell” in hospital and has not regained consciousness.

If you recall any information that could help officers, please call 101 or email [email protected], quoting incident number 408 of 1 October 2015.
