A 90-year-old woman has been bashed in her own home in Levin during a seemingly brazen daylight robbery attempt, her granddaughter says. Gisborne-based Sam Virtue told the New Zealand Herald her grandmother was attacked by two young women yesterday. The family are appealing for information about what happened while they wait to find out whether the 90-year-old now has a brain bleed. One of the two women claimed she badly needed to use the toilet, so the 90-year-old woman obliged, letting the pair into the Bath St home, she said. Virtue said her grandmother’s purse was missing after the attack, which they believe happened between 4.30pm and 6pm.
