A woman in her 90s has been left badly shaken after a man threatened to hit her with a poker during a robbery at her house in Ballymena, County Antrim.
The man forced his way into the woman's home in the Galgorm area at about 1800 BST on Thursday after calling at her door pretending to look for a dog.
He then let a second man into the house before demanding her purse and threatening her with the poker.
The robbers made off with an undisclosed sum of money.
The first man is described as being 5ft 6ins, well built, aged 28 - 30 with thick short black hair.
He was clean shaven and was wearing biscuit-coloured trousers and jacket. He spoke with a southern accent.
The second man was 5ft 9ins, of a thin build, and was wearing a white jumper with horizontal dark-coloured stripes.
Police have appealed for anyone with information concerning the incident to contact them.
