Pensioner targeted in robbery
Police are investigating a robbery at the home of an elderly woman in County Armagh.

Two women and a man broke into the 93-year-old's house in Crosslieve Drive in Forkhill just before 0200 GMT on Tuesday.

They stole the pensioner's handbag which contained a substantial sum of money.

The woman was not injured or threatened in the attack.

The police believe the burglary may be related to an incident when a young woman with a child called at houses in the area a week ago.

Detectives have appealed for anyone with any information about the incident or anyone who may have noticed any suspicious activity in the area to contact them.
