Police are appealing for information after a woman in her 40s was violently robbed at her home in Templepatrick.

At approximately 8.10pm on Thursday evening 27 October, she left her house off the Antrim Road when a man came out of a nearby alley and demanded money. He punched and kicked the woman and made off with her car keys and handbag which included a sum of money.

He then stole her Audi car which was reported to be on fire in the Lylehill Road area of Templepatrick at approximately 9pm. The woman required medical treatment for her injuries as a result of the assault.

Inspector Julian Buchanan said: “The man is described as in his 20s, about 6’2” tall, of slim build with broad shoulders and was wearing a black hooded top, camouflage trousers and wellingtons. I would ask anyone with any information about this incident to contact Antrim Police Station on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 1226 of 27/10/16."
