A householder in Brackendale was left ‘very shaken’ but uninjured after an aggravated burglary at their home.

Police are appealing for witnesses after officers were called to a property in Brackendale around 11.40pm last Thursday (August 20th) after receiving reports of two men entering the house and threatening the occupant with a firearm.
