The couple (3) tried hard to stop the thieves and in the struggle, Mr. Joseph Mendip, 73, (4) was cut violently with a knife across the chest. His wife, Brenda, 75, (5) hurt a part of her arm badly when she tried to (6) give a helping hand to her husband. The thieves then (7) carried away all the old people’s valuable possessions. Police (8) caught and took to the police station two men this morning. The men were (9) asked a lot of questions by detectives.
