POLICE are hunting a Keighley man wanted in connection with the robbery of an elderly couple in their own home.

Mark Wilcock, 26, is being sought after a 95-year-old man and 86-year-old woman were assaulted and had a wallet and television stolen.

It is thought the phones at the house, in Foulridge, Lancashire, were disconnected during the incident, on Saturday night.

Wilcock, of Greystones Drive, is described as white, 6ft 2ins tall with brown hair.

DS Jo Pemberton, of Lancashire Police, said: "We are very keen to trace Mark Wilcock and I would urge anyone who knows of his whereabouts to contact us, or West Yorkshire Police, immediately."

Anyone with information should phone 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
