Two held after Newsome sex attack on OAP
A PENSIONER was subjected to a terrifying sexual assault at the hands of intruders in her own home.
The 66-year-old, who lives in Newsome, was attacked after her flat was broken into at about 6am yesterday.
The intruders fled minutes later. It is not known if they stole anything.
The woman was being looked after by police yesterday evening as she recovered from the attack.
Detectives from West Yorkshire Police’s homicide and major enquiry team (HMET) arrested two men from a nearby house.
A police spokesman said: “A short time after the report, two men, aged 20 and 32, were arrested from a house on Caldercliffe Road, in the Berry Brow area.
“Both are currently in custody pending further enquiries.
“The woman was taken to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary where she is being looked after by specially trained professionals.”
Police taped off several houses and a section of the street where the incident happened.
Officers stood guard as forensic teams combed the flat and surrounding area for evidence.
A neighbour, who did not want to be named, said the victim lived with her husband.
