More held in death inquiry

FOUR men have been arrested in connection with a burglary which resulted in the death of an 85-year-old war veteran.

George Bridge was manhandled into a side room during the 2am break-in at his Haworth home, on May 2, and later died of a heart attack in hospital.

Two men aged 33 and 31 were arrested last week in Keighley as a result of information provided in calls to Crimestoppers and were later released on police bail.

This week, a 31-year-old man and a 21-year-old man have been quizzed by police and also released on police bail, pending further inquiries.

Detectives issued video footage of the burglary at the house in Mytholmes Lane, which had been taken by a surveillance camera police had installed after a previous break-in in January.

Mr Bridge's stepdaughter, Sandra Brown, said the family was "absolutely devastated" by the death of the former RAF serviceman, who was suffering from dementia and angina.
