Detectives are appealing for information following the report of an aggravated burglary in Lisburn on Saturday 20th September.

Detective Inspector Lenaghan said: “It was reported that shortly after 8pm on Saturday evening, three masked men, one armed with a hammer, had forced entry to a house in The Paddock area. One of the men held the female occupant in a room, while the others ransacked the property. Nothing is believed to have been taken from the house at this time and the occupant was thankfully not injured. She was however left badly shaken from her ordeal.

“I am appealing to anyone who may have witnessed any suspicious activity in the area or anyone with CCTV, dash-cam or other footage that could assist with our enquiries, to contact detectives in Lisburn on 101, quoting reference 1791 20/09/25.”
