A pensioner suffered cuts to his head after being struck with a bat during an armed robbery in Co Down, the PSNI said today.
Two brothers, aged 89 and 82, were attacked last night at their home near Ballynahinch.
Three masked men entered the house in Crawfordstown Road, Drumaness, at about 9.10pm. Police believe one of the robbers was carrying a handgun.
The 82-year-old sustained cuts to his head after being hit. The gang ransacked the house and stole money. The victims were left badly shaken.
