Pensioner robbed in County Down home
Detectives in County Down are appealing for information after a pensioner was robbed in his home yesterday evening.
The incident happened at around 5.40pm, when four men entered the bedroom of the 88-year-old man who was resting in his bed.
One of the men held the pensioner in his bed, while the others ransacked his house, before they made off with a silver pocket-watch.
The victim was not injured during the attack, however he was left badly shaken by his ordeal.
The robbers are all said to have been wearing dark clothing – zipped up over their mouths, and baseball caps. They all spoke with local accents.
Police have asked for anyone who may have witnessed anyone suspicious in the area around the time of the robbery, or anyone who may have any information in connection with it, to contact them on 0845 600 8000, or anonymously on the Crimestoppers number on 0800 555 111.
