Three Arrested After Gang Attack During Belfast Burglary
Three people have been arrested after a man was beaten during an aggravated burglary in east Belfast.
Police are appealing for witnesses after the incident in the Cregagh road area at around 7.10am on Monday 03 December.
The three intruders gained entry to a flat in the Cappagh Gardens area, before beating a man in his 20's around the face and head with a pair of bolt cutters.
They then fled with a sum of cash and a mobile phone.
The victim was taken to hospital for treatment.
Police later arrested three men aged 25, 28 and 30 in the west Belfast area on suspicion of aggravated burglary and possession of an offensive weapon with intent.
They remain in custody, helping police with their enquiries.
Officers trying to trace the movements of a silver Ford Mondeo are appealing to anyone who saw this type of car in the Greenway area of the Cregagh road at around 7am on Monday morning.
"We would like to hear from anyone who witnessed a road traffic collision in the same area around 7.15am involving a similar model of car or anyone who saw a silver Ford Mondeo being driven erratically in the Belfast area," Detective Sergeant McCallum said.
"Please contact detectives at Musgrave on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 149 of 03 December."
Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
