Detectives are appealing for witnesses following a report of a burglary at a house in Co Down on Friday.
Shortly before 8pm last night, it was reported that four masked men dressed in dark coloured clothing entered the property in the Killyleagh Street area of Crossgar. They forced the four occupants of the house to remain seated on the living room floor, whilst three of the intruders searched the property.
A PSNI spokesperson said: "It was also reported that when one of the occupants tried to get up, one of the men hit him on the face and made him sit down again.
