Man Hit With Gun During Burglary
A man has been hit with a gun during an aggravated burglary that occurred in the Hillman Street area of north Belfast on Tuesday evening.
Police said that at about 20:15 three men dressed in dark hooded tops and with scarves over their faces entered a house in the area. One of the men was armed with a gun.
A 24-year-old man who was in the house at the time was made to lie on the bathroom floor while the men searched the house.
He was then hit with the gun before the men left the house.
Detective Inspector Michelle Griffin said: "I would appeal to anyone with any information about this incident to contact CID at Musgrave Police Station on the non emergency number 101. Or if someone would prefer to provide information without giving their details they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers and speak to them anonymously on 0800 555 111."
