Victorian WWII veteran, 92, robbed

Burglars turned off the power to an elderly veteran's home before robbing him in Melbourne.

The 92-year-old man has been left severely shaken after the aggravated burglary in Nunawading on September 3.

Police say the man went outside after losing power to his home, and was forced back inside by a man who demanded cash.

The WWII veteran handed over money, but asked for some of it back.

The burglar dropped $25 on the floor then unplugged the phone before fleeing.

Police say the man, who cares for his wife in a nursing home nearby, went to bed in fear and waited until the following day to call police.
