The PSNI have issued an appeal for information after a woman and a man were assaulted during an aggravated burglary in Dundonald in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

According to reports, a woman aged in her 50s and a man, aged in his 30s, were inside a flat on Drumadoon Drive when they saw four men approaching shortly before 4am.
