Appeal For Information On Aggravated Burglary In Newtownabbey
PSNI detectives have issued an appeal for information following an aggravated burglary in the Forthill Park area of Newtownabbey on the evening of Sunday 10th December.
At around 9:45pm, it was reported that a number of masked men forced their way into the property armed with hammers and bats. They began smashing windows and causing damage in the property before assaulting a male occupant.
