POLICE ARE APPEALING for witnesses following the report of a burglary in Tyrone early this morning.
The incident happened at a house in the Mourne Avenue area of Coalisland at about 4.30am. A woman was assaulted during the burglary.
Detective Constable Alan Ford said the woman, who was in bed at the time, was awakened by the noise of the burglar entering the house.
“A man, described as being around six-foot tall and of thin build, then slapped her across the face and demanded money.
“He stole the woman’s black handbag which contained cash and personal items. Her wedding ring was also taken and she has been left badly shocked. This woman went through a dreadful ordeal,” Ford said.
The PSNI has appealed for anyone who saw a man on foot, acting suspiciously, in the area between 4-5am to get in touch via the non-emergency number 101. Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Sounds like someone has just watched the Unibomber on Netflix and got some ideas…
@ciaran kavanagh: more like the Zip Gun Bomber
“Police were considering whether racial hatred was a factor”. More like “Police were asked by the divisive media if they were considering whether racial hatred was a factor”
@JimmyMc: “divisive” media? You mean one asking an obvious question considering the background of the victims?
@JimmyMc: The profile of the victims would naturally lead to this suspicion.
@Brendan O’Brien: why would it naturally lead to that suspicion? Most crimes committed against people of colour are perpetrated by their fellow people of colour.
@Brad Carmichael: And racist crime/terrorism is also a thing, particularly in this era of far-right emboldenment.
@Brad Carmichael: Is white not a colour too?
@wrong side: no white is not a colour. Neither is black.
@Brendan O’Brien: so is Islamic terror maybe they were targeted for being christians ?, your usually one of the first telling everyone to wait for evidence.
@JimmyMc: Is that you Donald?
@Seamus Mc Meel: Is that you Maxine?
@Joey Navinski: whooosh…
@johnp: eh, Islamic terrorism is far_right terrorism silly.
God Bless the greatest country south of Canada and North of Mexico!
@Brad Carmichael: really, do Americans prefer to slaughter children in classrooms or is just some nut jobs
@Brad Carmichael: You really are an abominable person.Blocked,and reported.
$15,000.00 reward? Life is cheap there
No one calling for stricter parcel controls??
@Pat Cbar: purchase of explosives is already heavily restricted
Oh no our beloved Taoiseach is there.
In other news, it might rain on paddy’s day.
@Trevor Hayden: there’s now even talks of snow!
Arm everyone with parcel bombs. That should solve it
“No evidence of a terrorism link”
@Brendan Gordon: motive is needed to make that distinction
“Taoiseach Leo Varadkar joins Tesla founder Elon Musk, London Mayor Sadiq Khan, and onetime presidential candidate Bernie Sanders as speakers at the event.”
How did a socialist manage to get sandwiched in between this group of neo-liberals?
ANTIFA left wing terrorists by the looks of it
@Dylan Toback: care to elaborate?
$15,000.00 reward? Life is cheap there
Ban parcels
