The woman was left shaken and with injuries to her arm and leg which required treatment from a paramedic.

Detective Sergeant Charlotte Henson, who is leading the investigation for Nottinghamshire police, said: “This is a despicable crime on an elderly woman in her own home.

"These men spared no thought for the damage, either physical or mental, that they have caused to her, and we need to catch them.

"I would urge anyone who saw men matching their description in the area at the time, or anyone who may have been passing, to contact us.”

Police believe a silver vehicle may have been involved.
