Family Robbed At Gunpoint In Dunmurry
A family has been robbed at gunpoint in Dunmurry.
Three masked men, two armed with handguns, forced their way into a property in Glenfearna Gardens in the Lagmore area just after 10.45pm on Friday.
They threatened three female occupants, aged 81, 49 and 25, with the firearms and tied up the 49-year-old woman.
