Woman Intimidated In Bangor Home Invasion
Detectives are investigating a report of intimidation towards a woman at her home in the Carrickmannin Gardens area of Bangor last night, Tuesday 4th February.

The men made threats to the woman before leaving the property.
Detective Sergeant Bell said: “This is utter cowardice and these men have nothing to offer their community whatsoever. I condemn their actions in the strongest possible terms.
"Incidents like this will not be tolerated in the District and no individual should be made to feel unsafe in their own home.
"Due to this, our patrols have been increased in the area today to provide reassurance to the local community, who simply want to live in peace.
"Enquiries are being made in relation to this incident and we are appealing to the public for any information that they may have that could assist our investigation, to make contact via 101.
"I must also remind the public that intimidating a person at their home is a criminal offence which can carry five years in prison. If you or someone you know is being intimidated, please report it to police."
