AN elderly woman was sexually assaulted and robbed by an intruder at her Princes Town home on Saturday morning.

The victim told police that she had locked and secured her home and retired to bed, but was awoken by a male suspect armed with a kitchen knife at around 1.30 a.m.

The man, whom she described to police as being of fair complexion, slim build, a tattoo on his arm, clean-shaven with straight black hairstyle with a fade, began touching her inappropriately and the sexually assaulted her against her will before escaping.
