A man armed with a knife broke into a house in Co Antrim and stole items, the PSNI has said.
Detectives are investigating an aggravated burglary at a house in Ahoghill during the early hours of this morning, Saturday 30 November.
At around 4am it was reported that an unknown man armed with a knife had approached the rear of an address in Laurel Park.
The male occupant of the house, who was outside at the time, challenged the male, who proceeded to swing the knife at the householder.
The blade struck the wall of the house and broke off.
The suspect then managed to force his way into the kitchen of the property via the back door, pushing past a woman in the process.
He then grabbed a mobile phone and some cash and ran off.
A few minutes later the suspect returned and again entered the kitchen.
He swiped a number of items off the kitchen counter tops, whilst the couple was holding their young baby. He then left on foot via a nearby alleyway.
The suspect is described as a white male, thin build, wearing a grey tracksuit with a ‘snood’ over his face and had his hood up.
Detectives are investigating this crime and are appealing for anyone with information or footage from the area to please get in touch on 101, quoting 229 30/11/24.
