Three elderly people were left shaken after being locked in a bedroom by burglars, police in Co Down have said.
The two women, aged in their 90s, and a man in his 80s were forced into the downstairs room of their house in the Hilltown Road area of Kilcoo last night during the break-in.
The PSNI said three men made their way into the house sometime between 9.40pm and 10.40pm and ransacked it.
The elderly occupants were not injured in the burglary but officers said they were left shaken by the ordeal.
It is not known if anything was stolen.
Police in Northern Ireland appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
