Two children have been left badly shaken, after three men armed with shovels broke into a house in North Belfast.

Two adults were also inside when it happened on St Vincent Street - next to Crusaders Football Club - early hours this morning.

No-one was injured and nothing was taken.

It's believed the men made off in a black Peugot.
