Aggravated Burglary at Killiney Hill, Co.Dublin on the 4/4/12

A mother and two of her daughters aged six and two were at home for the evening.  The woman had just filled a bath for her six year old daughter while the youngest was asleep in her mother’s bed.  The woman let her dogs out the front door and was confronted by two masked men in her hallway.  They threatened the woman and demanded to know where the safe was.  The woman pleaded with them.  One of the raiders stood over the woman, while the second man searched the house.  They took turns searching and continued to make threats, demanding money and jewellery.  They ransacked the house for almost two hours.  The men took a number of items of jewellery, together with mobile phones and cash.
