Gardai in Wexford are investigating the theft of between £10,000 and £20,000 from a businessman's home on Wednesday night.
Two men wearing balaclavas forced their way into the High Street home of Mr Herbert Levingston, tied him up with electrical flex and forced him to hand over the keys to a safe.
Gardai say both men were about 5 ft 8 ins tall and wore jeans and runners. They both spoke with a pronounced rural accent.
