Mystery locksmith fits new free security devices at home of 96-year-old war veteran and his wife after they were burgled

By Liam Thorp, The Bolton News

A mystery Good Samaritan has fitted new security locks at the flat where a 96-year-old war veteran and his 88-year-old wife were burgled. The Horwich-based locksmith was moved after reading the news of the burglary at sheltered accommodation at the end of last month.

On the evening of October 30, a callous thief forced his way through a window at the elderly couple's home while they were inside and stole their treasured wedding and engagement rings as well as the man's army papers - which he had kept with him for decades.
