Co Antrim woman in her 80s wakes to find 'masked men had broken into her home'

A woman in her 80s has been left "extremely destressed" after a burglary in Co Antrim.

Police say she woke to find that around 'six masked men had broken into her property' on Thursday night, October 28.

The reported incident happened at Main Street in Armoy yesterday, with the men allegedly making off with a sum of money in a red car.

PSNI Detective Sergeant Moyne said: “At around 10pm, we received a report that a female home owner, aged in her 80s, had woken up to find that approximately six masked men had broken into the property.

“They made off with a substantial sum of money in a red coloured car towards the Carrowreagh Road area, leaving the victim extremely distressed by the incident.

“I would appeal to anyone who may have witnessed anyone suspicious in the area at the time of the burglary to contact detectives on 101 quoting reference 2108 28/10/21.”
