Elderly Woman 'Badly Shaken' By Attempted Burglary In Belfast
A woman in her 90s has been left badly shaken after an attempted burglary at her home in the Falls Road area of Belfast on Wednesday night, 07 July.
The incident occurred at around 8.30pm when two people tried to gain entry to the lady's house.
The woman was disturbed by a banging noise and, when she later thought it was safe to open her door to investigate, a female tried to enter the house. The occupant shouted for help and, at this stage, the suspect made off on foot, accompanied by a male.
Police have appealed for anyone with information related to the incident to come forward.
Detective Sergeant Moore said: "The intrusion happened at a time when people would have been out and about, going about their business. And I am appealing to anyone who noticed any suspicious activity, or who may have captured dash cam footage, to contact us.
"We're particularly keen to hear from anyone who noticed a couple - a man and woman - walking around the Falls Road in the direction of Milton Cemetery at around 8.40pm. The man is described as being approximately 5'7" in height, of slim build and wearing a red top. The woman is described as being aged in her 20s, of similar height, and wearing a white t-shirt."
