A man in his eighties and his vulnerable daughter have been left badly shaken after three masked men ransacked their house in Portadown.

It happened in the Derryletiff Road around half 8 last night.

The intruders tied the pensioner's hands and removed a sim card from a mobile phone.

The trio made off with a sum of cash.

Detective Constable Joanne Jackson said: "This despicable crime has left an older man and his daughter extremely shaken and we are appealing to anyone with information to please get in touch with us. Witnesses can call 101, quoting reference 1226 25/11/18."
