Appeal For Information Following Aggravated Burglary In Portadown

The PSNI have issued an appeal for information following an aggravated burglary in Portadown on Sunday, 25 November.

At approximately 8.30pm last night a number of three masked men entered the home of a man, aged in his 80s, on the Derrylettiff Road. It is understood that the man's "vulnerable daughter" was in the house at the time.

The intruders tied the homeowner's hands and removed a sim card from one mobile phone and broke another before ransacking a number of rooms.

The trio subsequently made off with a sum of cash.

Detective Constable Joanne Jackson said: "This despicable crime has left an older man and his daughter extremely shaken and we are appealing to anyone with information to please get in touch with us. Witnesses can call 101, quoting reference 1226 25/11/18."
