$55,000 cash stolen at 4 a.m. from modest home in Milton

Armed thieves, two men and a woman, broke into a modest home on Pearl St. in the Town of Milton and stole $55,000 in cash from the sole occupant about 4 a.m. Friday. She is a woman who is said to have recently received the cash in a “legal settlement” of an unnamed type. It seems apparent to the police that someone who knew the woman had the money, and had not put it in the bank, was behind the crime. Instead, it was in the home in a beige purse. The robbers are described as a black or South Asian man wearing dark clothing, a dark-skinned man with blue-eyes, 6 feet tall, of slim build, in dark clothing and a third person who “could be a woman” with dark hair, 5’ 4” to 5’ 6” tall, slim and in dark clothing. Anyone with information should call Halton Regional Police.
