Robbery leaves pensioner shaken

Policeman

A woman in her 80s has been left shocked following a robbery at her south Belfast home.

It happened at about 1630 BST on Monday at Lille Park in Finaghy.

A man dressed in a high-visibility vest restrained the pensioner before searching the house. Car keys and a purse containing cash were stolen.

It is thought two other men also entered the house during the robbery. The woman was shaken but not hurt.

The robber is thought to be about 40 years of age with a southern accent.
