A group of callous burglars beat an elderly man black and blue with his own walking stick, as part of a raid on his home in the dead of night during which they stole two Rolex watches.

The horrifying attack was reportedly carried out at the home of 86-year-old Mr Taylor at around 2.30am on July 21 this year, leaving him with numerous injuries including two broken ribs, a damaged lung, an injured eye socket, a gash on his hand and a head wound which required stitches.

Those close to him are urging members of the public to help track down the men responsible, and to look out for his Rolex watches, which they may be trying to sell.
