A man, aged 94 has been removed by ambulance to the Midlands Regional Hospital in Portlaoise, suffering with head injuries, following an aggravated burglary at his home here in North Tipperary.
Gardaí confirm that the man was in the family home at Old Dublin Road, Roscrea, Co Tipperary, with his wife, when two men broke through a side window in the building around 11.40pm last night, before assaulted the 90-year-old.
During the break-in the female, aged in her 80’s, although suffering from shock, thankfully remained uninjured.
Gardaí believe that a quantity of cash was taken during the raid, and have sealed off the building for a forensic examination.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to come forward or phone Roscrea Garda Station, An Phríomhshráid, Townparks, Roscrea, Co. Tipperary at Tel: (0505) 24230.
If the burglars are caught will they suffer as much as THE 90 YEAR OLD MAN. ……..NOT A HOPE…..NO REAL PUNISHMENT FOR BURGLARY.
