Pensioners robbed twice in six months
Two pensioners have been robbed at their home in Co Down last night for the second time in six months.
The husband and wife, who are both in their 90s, were in the living room of their Newtownards home when three masked men broke in at around 9.30pm.
The elderly couple were forced into the kitchen by one of the men while the other two ransacked the house.
They eventually fled the house with a sum of money.
Earlier this year, the couple were confronted by robbers who forced their way into their Bangor Road home.
