SICK thieves have robbed the home of an elderly Derry man who is suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease.
The victim lives in the Waterside – we are not giving his exact address.
It’s understood a substantial amount of cash was taken in the raid.
The victim is described as ‘extremely vulnerable’.
Friends of the victim say his family has been left distraught by the break-in.
“They couldn’t have picked on someone more vulnerable,” said one local resident.
“Breaking into someone’s home is horrible; so bad for someone who is elderly and worried anyway.
“But breaking into someone’s home who has this conditions is just beyond evil.”
It’s the latest in a series of burglaries across the city.
