“He was dragged to the living room, cable tied and had a cloth or hood placed over his head. He was then struck with something around the head.

“The intruders made off with cash and the victim’s car, a black Skoda. The victim was subsequently able to free himself.

“The car was subsequently located by police in Glasvey Rise. A burnt out car was also found nearby and we are looking at a possible link between that vehicle and the burglary.
