An elderly grandmother died of pneumonia after yobs hurled a breeze block through her window leaving her exposed to freezing temperatures on the coldest night of the year.

June Green, 83, who had been the victim of three previous burglaries, stayed in her bedroom when she heard the noise and spent the next 12 hours huddled under blankets not daring to investigate.

Raiders waited until she was asleep before entering the bungalow where she lived alone to steal a handbag containing a purse with around 60 cash from the bedroom.
