Woman targeted in "disgraceful and terrifying" Lisburn burglary

By Adam Evans

A man in a balaclava has held a woman down as two other men burgled her house in Lisburn.

They knocked on the 60-year-old's door before it happened on Nettlehill Road last night.

The group got away with cash and a mobile phone.

Detectives have described the attack as "disgraceful and terrifying".

PSNI Detective Sergeant McKimm said: "This was a disgraceful and terrifying attack on a sixty year old lady in her own home. Whilst not physically injured she has been left extremely shaken by this horrific attack. 

"The individuals who carried out this attack must be caught and I am appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time and who seen anything suspicious or who seen a silver or white car speed off from the area between 8.30pm and 9pm? 

"Anyone with information should contact detectives in Lisburn on 101 quoting reference 1328 09/11/18.  Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime."
