Woman, 90, held captive by looters

Robbers held a 90-year-old woman captive as they looted her Tyrone home, police said today.

Three raiders pushed her back into the house at Sixmilecross in Co Tyrone after she opened her front door last night.

Police said one of the men restrained her while the other two ransacked the Fellagherin Road property.

They escaped with an undisclosed sum of cash, and detectives in Omagh have urged any witnesses to contact them.

Although the pensioner was not physically hurt, a Police Service of Northern Ireland spokesman said she was badly shaken by the ordeal.
