Police in Larne, Co Antrim are investigating an incident in which an elderly man was attacked in his home and robbed of £10.
A PSNI spokesman said the 73-year-old victim was alone in his home in Glenarm Road when a man and a woman forced their way in at around 1 p.m.
The woman restrained the man in his kitchen while her accomplice ransacked the house. They escaped with a mere £10, leaving their victim shaken and shocked but physically unharmed.
Police have appealed for witnesses to contact them.
