Gardaí praise vigilant neighbours after 91-year-old restrained and robbed

Gardaí have thanked the neighbours of a 91-year-old man for their help after the pensioner was forcibly restrained and robbed in his home near a village in Cork.

The man was sitting in his house near Kiskeam in north-west Cork when two men entered his unlocked home.

According to gardaí, one of the men stayed near the doorway while the other went over to the frail pensioner, restrained him, and rifled his pockets.
