Elderly woman left '˜very shaken' after disturbing burglars
Police are hunting two men who carried out a burglary at the home of an elderly woman near Banbridge.
According to PSNI Banbridge, the woman was left “very shaken” after disturbing the two intruders at her Mount Ida Road home at around 12:45pm on Wednesday, April 18.
“One male was wearing a baseball cap and dark hoody, the other wearing a high viz jacket,” a police spokesperson said.
“Thankfully the lady was not injured but is understandably very shaken.
“The suspects ran off. This is right beside the A1 so the suspects could be anywhere by now.
