A residential burglary in Macosquin, County Londonderry, left an elderly couple deeply distressed. The incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday, around 01:15 BST, when two masked individuals forced their way into the home on Formoyle Road.
The male occupant, in his 70s, and the female occupant, in her 60s, were subjected to a terrifying ordeal. The intruders tied them up and demanded cash. Fortunately, neither occupant sustained physical injuries, but they were left severely shaken by the experience.
After taking a quantity of money, the burglars absconded with two mobile phones, a watch, and the keys to a blue Nissan Juke parked outside. The thieves then drove away from the property in the stolen vehicle.
The stolen blue Nissan Juke was last observed by authorities in the Moore Road area of Londonderry shortly after 02:00 BST on the same morning. Detectives are actively pursuing inquiries and urge anyone with pertinent information to come forward.
