Police are appealing for information after armed men in balaclavas forced their way into a house in Bellshill and demanded money earlier this week.
A man was assaulted in the incident, which occurred on Tuesday, May 13.
Around 00.50am a 39-year-old man made his way home from work. Shortly after arriving home two armed suspects attended his home and forced entry, demanding money.
