An armed gang posing as pizza-delivery men robbed a house in the Dublin suburb of Castleknock last night.
Three men burst into the private house in Park Manor, Castleknock, at around 10.30 p.m. last night, and threatened the family with a knife - and possibly a gun.
The men, who wore black hoods, were in the house for half an hour and left with jewellery and other items.
The scene is now preserved for technical examination later today.
