Crimestoppers offers reward
of up to ₤5,000 for information on violent Oldham robbery
INDEPENDENT charity Crimestoppers have
announced that they are offering a reward of up to ₤5,000 for information leading to the arrest
and conviction of the persons responsible for a violent robbery in Oldham.
We are told that the incident occurred, at around 7.30pm, on Friday, 18 November 2016, in Kew Road,
when 2 attackers burst into the house of a pregnant mother, Fatima Bibi, who was
at home, with her 4 children, ranging from 5 to 13 years.
1 of the attackers held a knife to the throat of her 6 year old daughter after
her sibling opened the door and dragged her upstairs demanding to know where
their safe and money were kept. Mrs Bibi begged the burglars not to harm her
daughter, 1 of whom then began searching the property whilst the other put a
knife to her stomach, saying:- "pregnant lady I'm going to kill you."
We are also told that the pair fled with just an iphone 5s.
