A woman in her early 30s was locked in a garden shed in Galway while a masked intruder raided her house. Her six-month-old baby was in the house while she was locked in the shed.
Gardaí have appealed for help in catching the man who confronted the woman in her house in east Galway on Saturday between 10.30am and 11.30am.
The woman was confronted by the masked man who demanded money from her before locking her in a shed in her back garden.
The man fled with a small sum of money.
