An elderly man in Dromore is recovering after being beaten by three men in his home who then robbed him.
The 65 year-old was getting ready for bed on Tuesday night at around 9:15pm when the gang who were already in his bedroom confronted him.
They kicked him repeatedly then forced him to open his safe, and took his Rolex watch. Seventeen ornamental figures were also taken - a mixture of Coalport and Royal Doulton.
Police say he was then locked in the bathroom and had to climb out of the window to raise the alarm with neighbours.
They're appealing for anyone who was in or near Rowantree Road and noticed unusual activity to get in touch by dialling 101 and quoting reference 1453 of 24/10/17
