An elderly woman has been robbed at knifepoint in her Lisburn home.

Three men entered the 71-year-old's home in the Sloan Street area of the city shortly after 2000 GMT on Monday.

One of the men was armed with a knife. The men cut the telephone wire and threatened the women, before ransacking the house and stealing money.

The woman received a small cut to her forearm and was extremely shaken by her ordeal. Police have appealed for witnesses to call them on 0845 6008000.
