Two men have stolen cash from a 90-year-old woman after breaking into her home on the NSW central coast, police say.
The men confronted the woman after cutting a screen and forcing their way into her mobile home on Karalta Road, Erina, about 7pm yesterday, police said.
The men allegedly stole her handbag, which had a small amount of cash in it, and ran away.
The woman was taken to hospital in shock.
Police are searching for the two men, described as aged between 16 and 20, both tall and of Caucasian appearance.
One was wearing dark clothing and a beanie and the other was wearing a light brown top and white shorts.
Meanwhile, police on NSW's south coast say they have charged a 37-year-old woman after she allegedly robbed two elderly people in Warilla in separate incidents.
On March 23, a 64-year-old man was walking near the intersection of George Street and Shellharbour Road when the woman pushed him to the ground and stole his wallet, police said.
On Sunday morning, a 70-year-old woman was walking on Hall Lane when the woman allegedly grabbed her handbag, pushed her to the ground, took a wallet from the bag and ran away.
A man chased and caught her and returned the wallet to the victim, who suffered cuts and scratches, police said.
The woman was arrested at a house in Warilla last night and she was charged with robbery, larceny and breach of bail.

they are NOT MEN they are animals, problem is if they catch them they only get a slap on the wrist, our judges are wimps.

I would like to be about three feet behind them with a good aussie hardwood pick handle, they would not run anywhere for a very long time. Gutless bastards.

I wish them a long, slow, lingering demise in great pain and fear, and alone. Tony

They reckon the best weapon to have with you is a walking stick there have even been lessons given as how to use it to defend yourself I guess anything is worth a try agree with Tony only way for them to go as far as I am concerned nothing but a load of animals. Helena.

We were told many years ago by a police officer, if you're going to shoot an intruder, shoot to kill, not wound. Then they have no comeback.

Beth 54, Many, many years ago when I lived in Kenya, a policeman told me that after I had shot the intruder, I should fire a shot into the ceiling. When I asked why, he replied: "Well, then we know you fired a warning shot and he ignored it." Cheers, Tony

Great news they got one last night, 18 year old so one good thing he goes into the main stream system. Hopefully there is some big fellow who has a Great Grandmother alive and feels he needs to get justice for her. or just having a bad hair day . He is certainly from the shallow end of the gene pool
Watch out, some do gooder judge will give him a suspended sentence or time on a rehab farm along with the other misfits out there

Oh yes, I'd forgotten that one.

Yes by all means fire the warning shot but only after the head shot and the threat to your personal safety no longer exists

Brave! Very brave! NOT!!!! Notice the young knock down the old. It's all about drugs. These addicts have to fund their habit somehow. They can't/won't work, so it's easy pickings to knock down the old, raid their homes. Prey on the weak and vulnerable, who are almost defenceless. The addicts have no morals, scruples or respect for anyone or anything. It's all about getting the next hit. Yeah, brave! Very bloody brave.
