AN elderly man has been left shaken after two men burgled his home in north Belfast.

The incident happened in Ballycarry Street at around midday today, Thursday, July 28.

A PSNI spokesperson said the intruders forced the man, aged in his 70s, to stay in the kitchen whilst one of them went upstairs.

Both men left the house a short time later and made off in a small blue car in the direction of Ballynure Street.

The elderly resident, who was not physically injured, later discovered a sum of money was missing.
