Pensioner robbed in Belfast home
Detectives in Belfast are appealing for witnesses following a burglary at the home of a 73-year-old man last night.
Around 9:30pm the pensioner answered a knock on his door in the West Circular road area and a man with a baseball hat and scarf over his face pushed his way in, followed by four other people.
They said they wanted money for drugs and proceeded to search and then wreck the elderly man's home, eventually leaving with a sum of money.
There are no reports of any injuries to the victim.
