Brutal robbers leave 70-year-old man with fractured skull in shocking ATM attack
Premeditated Assault in North-West London
Police hunt two suspects after a vicious robbery in north-west London. A 70-year-old was violently attacked while withdrawing cash from an ATM on Ealing Road, Wembley. He was struck from behind, knocked unconscious, and suffered severe injuries including a fractured skull and hearing loss in one ear.
Heartless Thieves Steal Cash While Victim Unconscious
Authorities described the violent assault as a “premeditated attack.” While the elderly victim lay unconscious, a woman in a fur hoodie and camouflage trousers brazenly stole money from the ATM. CCTV footage shows her lurking near the machine before meeting a man with a dark beard wearing a hooded jacket—believed to be the second suspect.
Public Urged to Help Catch Callous Criminals
Detective Sergeant Muhamed Ahmed of the Wembley Priority Crime Unit pleaded: “This was a premeditated attack which left an elderly man injured.” The victim, now struggling with mobility problems and unable to work, was found injured on March 31.
