Police hunt duo who robbed and assaulted man in his Dewsbury Moor home

A man was assaulted and robbed in his own home in what police are calling a “targeted attack” in Dewsbury Moor.

Police have issued a witness appeal following the attack which happened at an address in School Crescent at 12.30am on Friday (July 24).

Two men entered the property before demanding property from the lone 29-year-old male occupant. The victim was then hit on the head, before the two robbers escaped the property with two mobile phones.

The second man is described as being tanned or mixed race, aged between 25 to 30-years-old, around 6ft tall, of slim build. He was wearing a dark zip-up hooded top with the hood up and pulled tight around his face.
