An 80-year-old man has been arrested after a 95-year-old woman was tied up and threatened during an attempted robbery in Salford<\/a> after being asked about bin collection day, police said.<\/p>\n

It is understood an assailant entered the woman\u2019s property in Little Hulton in Salford on Tuesday, tied her hands together, and asked for cash and her purse.<\/p>\n

He was disturbed when another woman who knew the victim arrived at the property and confronted the robber, who fled the scene.<\/p>\n

Greater Manchester police (GMP) said officers attended an address on Manchester Road, Worsley, on Wednesday and arrested a suspect on suspicion of attempted robbery and false imprisonment.<\/p>\n

He remains in custody for questioning, the force said.<\/p>\n

No injuries were reported and officers are supporting the victim.<\/p>\n

GMP had previously said that a man offered to clean the victim\u2019s windows, but detectives now believe he asked about bin collection day.<\/p>\n

Det insp Paul Davies, from GMP\u2019s Salford district, said: \u201cWhen this report came in to us yesterday, we were shocked by the very nature of it, and immediately utilised all resources available as part of our investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am glad that we now have someone arrested in connection with this incident and inquiries remain ongoing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would ask the community to not speculate in order to allow the criminal justice process to run its proper course.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank everyone who has shared our appeals and got in touch with us \u2013 your assistance is truly appreciated and helps us provide the best service possible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An 80-year-old man has been arrested after a 95-year-old woman was tied up and threatened during an attempted…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":395815,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-395814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=395814"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395814\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/395815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=395814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=395814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=395814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
