Widow, 80, left devastated as house 'ransacked' while she attended Mass

All five of her bedrooms at her Co Donegal home were pulled apart and the raiders took a substantial amount of cash as well as jewellery of huge sentimental value.

The daughter of a pensioner whose house was raided and ransacked while she was at church has spoken of her disgust at the robbery.

Eighty-year-old May Lowry returned from church last Sunday morning to find her home turned upside down.
