Police are appealing for public help to catch an armed man who robbed an 86-year-old woman in her Wanganui home.
Constable Carla Russell said the woman was alone at her Cornfoot St, Castlecliff, home on Friday when the offender came in the back door holding what she thought was a knife, demanding money.
He verbally abused her but did not attack, before making off with milk, keys and cigarettes.
