TWO WOMEN IN their 90s and a man aged in his 80s were locked in the bedroom of a house last night as thieves ransacked the building.
Three men forced their way into the house, in Kilcoo, Co Down, between 9.40pm and 10.40pm last night, the PSNI said in a statement.
The three were locked in a downstairs bedroom as the raiders went through the house, looking for valuables.
It’s not yet known if anything has been stolen.
The elderly occupants of the house weren’t injured, but have been left shaken by their ordeal.
Anyone with information is being asked to contact the PSNI.

Complete s@umbags! Absolutely no respect for anyone. Those poor people must have been terrified.
Their parents must be so proud. Total s#um.
The lowest of the low those adults that attack the young and the elderly ..!
Pure cowardice, greed and perversion !
Shameful cowards
Pure evil, spineless, and cowardly s#umbags, i hope they get what they richly deserve…
Brave men ! those poor elderly people ,
B@stards should be tarred and feathered
Chickensh*t b@stards.
Hope they’re found & get a bloody good hiding
We have no idea what kind of background these offenders had. Maybe they were subject to violence as children or suffered severe deprivation. Its important that we understand whst drove them to commit this terrible act. Then cut their balls off.
Part of the culture boss maybe?
What a disgusting thing to happen
Brave Men!!!!!
Oh absolute heroes are them boys. Look at me terrifying a couple of 90 year olds. Bring them to the families of the women see what kind of heroes they are then.
Tap go have a cup of tea but put about 20 sleeping tablets in the cup
Perhaps they were just patriots trying to free old Ireland.
I am sure the victims would appreciate that down right offensive remark there Tap.
An iron pipe would fit them I think…
Fix… not fit. Thinking about it, that might be one place to shove it then.
Hope these people are now and slowly recovering from the shock. I wonder now, we’re they able to afford insurance off the pension. I cannot. Perhaps a little whip round to get them a few things for the home. A few creature comforts is not too much to ask us it? A bit of safety and a haven to rest in at their time of life is completely disrupted.
have your say
