Trio with handguns burgle home in Co Down

A trio of men armed with guns have robbed a household in Co Down.

The PSNI said this morning that it was reported at around 6pm that three men, armed with handguns, entered a property in the New Road area and left with “a sum of cash”.

Though the PSNI described it as being in “New Road, Newtownards”, this actually appears to be several miles to the east of the north Down town.

The PSNI ask for anyone who may have any information which could assist to contact 101, quoting reference number CW 1277 of 08/01/22, or to submit a report online using the non-emergency reporting form via http://www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/.
