POLICE ARE APPEALING for witnesses following the report of a burglary in Tyrone early this morning.
The incident happened at a house in the Mourne Avenue area of Coalisland at about 4.30am. A woman was assaulted during the burglary.
Detective Constable Alan Ford said the woman, who was in bed at the time, was awakened by the noise of the burglar entering the house.
“A man, described as being around six-foot tall and of thin build, then slapped her across the face and demanded money.
“He stole the woman’s black handbag which contained cash and personal items. Her wedding ring was also taken and she has been left badly shocked. This woman went through a dreadful ordeal,” Ford said.
The PSNI has appealed for anyone who saw a man on foot, acting suspiciously, in the area between 4-5am to get in touch via the non-emergency number 101. Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Fukking lowest of the low.
Skum bag and,oxygen thief.
After sentencing every member of her extended family should be allowed walk up and punch him in the face before he’s sent down to the cells for a good kicking.
@Gene Dexter: that would be great
I predict a suspended sentence.
@Jams O’ Donnell: it’s the north. Not as easy to get off up there
@Shaun Gallagher: yeah they take serious crimes against womwn much more serious up that way pal
Aww the poor fellow must have needed the money to buy drugs,your honour..hes from a broken home and disadvantaged area…I ask the court for leniency,he was off his his head at the time…3 months suspended…
The cat and nine tails should be bought back as punishment for stuff like that.
It appears the coward burglar must have known the woman lives alone before carrying the robbery. Hopefully he’ll be caught asap before he strikes another woman and receives a long sentence….
have your say
