A number of people have been left badly shaken after an aggravated burglary in south Belfast.

A number of men burst in to a house in the Edinburgh Street area around 5 this morning.

It's believed one of the men was armed with a knife.

Keys for a blue Ford Fiesta were taken - and the vehicle was later found in the Springfield Park area of west Belfast.

Detective Sergeant McPhillips said: “I would appeal to anyone who noticed any suspicious activity at Edinburgh Street or Springfield Park or who has information which could assist us with our enquiries to contact detectives at Musgrave on 101 quoting reference number 176 19/10/18.

“Or, if someone would prefer to provide information without giving their details they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers and speak to them anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
