Warwickshire Police is investigating an aggravated burglary in Nuneaton.
The incident happened at about 3.30pm on Thursday (22 June) in Paddiford Place.
One of the occupants was in the garden at the rear of the property when she noticed an unknown man by the gate. As the occupant went into the property, she saw a second man who was carrying what is believed to have been a hammer.
The man took a money pot and a metal Jack Daniels tin containing an amount of cash before striking the victim - a woman in her 20s - on her arm. She suffered slight injuries and brusing. The two offenders then made off on foot in the direction of Church Road.
The first man is described as white, around 5ft 4in tall, of slight build, and in his early 20s. He was believed to be wearing a sports jacket with the hood over his head, possibly dark blue in colour, and dark coloured jogging bottoms.
