PSNI appeal for information after burglar threatens householder with knife
Detectives are appealing for information after a Hillsborough resident returned home to find two men in their house - one of whom threatened them with a knife.
The occupant of the residential property in the Gloucester Court area returned home just before 5pm on Tuesday 19 May to find the house ransacked and two men inside.
Both men, one of whom was reported to be holding a pen knife, approached the occupant before making off.
One of the men was tall and of slim build, dressed in dark coloured clothing, trainers, and had a mask covering his face.
The other male was also of slim build, dressed in a dark coloured jacket with a white / grey hood pulled up, and dark coloured trousers, shoes and face mask.
They are believed to have gained entry by smashing a window.
Police are appealing to anyone who might have noticed any suspicious activity in the area at the time, to contact police via 101, quoting ref 1300 of 19/05/26.
