POLICE IN NORTHERN Ireland are appealing for witnesses following an aggravated burglary in Co Antrim, during which a man sustained a number of injuries to his head and body.
At 5am this morning, a number of masked men forced their way into a home in Wellington Green in Larne, according to the PSNI.
During the aggravated burglary, a man in his 30s was assaulted with what police believe to have been pick axe handles and a sledgehammer.
The man sustained a number of injuries to his head and body. A woman, in her 30s, was also assaulted during the incident but did not sustain any injuries.
A young child who was in the house at the time was not injured.
The PSNI are now appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident or anyone who has any information about the incident to contact detectives in Larne on 101, quoting reference 157 24/04/19.

It funny how these incidents are described as ‘ aggravated burglary’ when then have all the hall marks of loyalist paramilitary ‘ punishment’ attacks.
@M Bowe: I don’t understand, if items were stolen then it was a burglary.
@Tony Donoghue: You must be reading something different to me. Where does it say items were stolen?
@DavidOReilly: “aggravated burglary”
@Tony Donoghue: definition of burglary is to enter a building without permission to commit a crime. Not necessarily to steal.
@DavidOReilly: actually it is with the intent to steal

@Jason Ebbs: I thank you
Jesus what are people mixed up in
Woman assaulted but no injuries? Are they implying she was sexually assaulted? Disgusting thugs regardless.
@Vintage Summers: I’m merely speculating but I doubt it was sexual assault. I reckon she was either just restrained or pushed as the man was the target.
Anyway, that’s my conjecture.
@Vintage Summers: That’s a strange deduction to make. Are you implying that sexual assault doesn’t result in injuries?
@Vintage Summers: Verbal assault
