Pensioner's home robbed in Lurgan

Police have appealed for information after a pensioner was robbed at her Co Armagh home early this morning.

The 82-year-old woman was awoken around 2.30am by noises downstairs at her Mark Street home in Lurgan. When she went to investigate she found four men in her living room, one of whom proceeded to watch her as the other three ransacked her bedroom. The men then fled with a small amount of money. The woman was not reported to have been injured during the incident.

Elsewhere in Armagh, police are investigating a gun attack at a house in Craigavon. Two blasts from a shotgun were fired at the house in Upper Enniskeen, Drumgor at around 11.30pm. No-one was in the house at the time of the attack.
