Two men are to appear in court charged with robbery following a raid on a 72-year-old woman in her Carlisle home.

Thomas Kirkpatrick and Thomas Reynolds, both from Raffles, have been charged in connection with the incident in Morton.

Kirkpatrick, 27, of Shadygrove Road, and Reynolds, 27, of nearby Brookside Place, have been charged in connection with the robbery of an elderly woman in Ashness Drive on November 3 last year.

They have been bailed and are due to appear before at Carlisle Magistrates' Court on June 27.

A manhunt was launched by police last November after a daytime raid on a downstairs flat in Ashness Drive.
