A woman has escaped physical injury after three masked men forced their way into her home in Derry/Londonderry.  

The intruders were armed with crowbars when they targeted the property on Glenowen Park at around 10pm on Thursday night. 

Rooms were ransacked and damage was caused to a number of household items.

Police are appealing for information. 

Detective Sergeant Galbraith said: “It was reported that three masked men, carrying crowbars, gained entry to a house.

“They proceeded to ransack the property, causing significant damage to various household items.

“While no injuries were sustained, the female occupant has, understandably, been left extremely shaken by this terrifying ordeal.”

“Our enquiries are continuing.  And I am appealing to anyone with information, or who noticed any suspicious activity in the area, to contact detectives at Strand Road on 101, quoting reference 812 of 07/05/21.”
