Burglars threaten elderly couple with hammer
Three masked men restrained the couple, aged in their late 70s, and threatened them with a hammer and an axe, before stealing up to €1,000 in cash.
Garda sources told the Irish Examiner they suspect the burglars are members of a Traveller gang which moved out of Waterford a number of years ago, but which has continued to commit burglaries in the area.
