The incident took place in Kerris Way around 10pm on Thursday, December 3.

There were three victims, a man aged 83, a woman aged 80, and a 61-year-old man.

Three robbers forced their way in and threatened them until they opened a safe.

The three offenders had their faces covered with scarves or masks.
