A 94-year-old woman has been robbed in her Sunshine Coast retirement village after opening the door to what appeared to be a distraught mother making a desperate call for help. Police believe the woman came to the resident’s door with a child aged seven or eight by her side and struck up a conversation at about 5.30pm. Minutes after the stranger walked away, she returned — only this time, the child was gone. Detective Senior Sergeant Daren Edwards said the woman claimed she had lost her child, and when the resident opened the door, the woman entered the home and stole her purse. When the nonagenarian realised what was going on she tried to ring police, but the thief snatched the phone from her hands. Police found the stolen purse, containing about $10 in cash, a short distance from the home. Management from the Immanuel Gardens’ Retirement Village say the incident is an isolated one, and the alleged offender was not known to the resident, and was not visiting others in the complex.

A retirement village accused of enforcing a “lockdown” following an outbreak of gastro has denied the claims, saying it would “never lock anyone in”. Evelyn Page Retirement Village in Orewa has been dealing with an outbreak of suspected norovirus since June 16, with a total of 43 cases since. A resident said she had not been allowed to leave her room and felt like she was “living in a jail”. She also claimed visitors were being turned away. And, the daughter of another resident was told that the village was in “lockdown” and she couldn’t visit. However, Ryman Healthcare corporate affairs manager David King said the village was not in lockdown. “We have written to families and residents letting them know, and said they are welcome to visit, but have to take precautions,” he said. “What is correct is we’ve suspended all communal activities, where large numbers of people would normally get together, while they have the bug, because that is how bugs spread.”
