A woman has been left badly shocked after being attacked during a burglary in Coalisland in which her wedding ring, handbag and some cash were stolen.
It happened in the Mourne Avenue area at around 4:30am on Sunday morning.
She was in bed at the time, and awoke when a man described as being six foot tall slapped her across the face and demanded money.
Detective Constable Alan Ford said, “this woman went through a dreadful ordeal and we are appealing for anyone who saw a man on foot, acting suspiciously in the area between 4-5 am this morning to get in touch with police on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 433 of 22/4/18.
“Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.”
