Two teenagers left ‘extremely terrified’ after house robbery in Comber

Two teenagers have been left “extremely terrified” after a gang of masked men stole their phones in a robbery in Comber, Co Down.

Police received a report that on Monday just before 10pm a group of four men wearing masks entered a house in the Castle Street area, armed with blunt weapons.

The two teenagers were inside the property and the suspects demanded they hand over their mobile phones.

The group then went on to steal a sum of money and a quantity of jewellery before fleeing the scene in a light-coloured vehicle.

A PSNI spokesperson said: “The two teenagers, although uninjured, were left extremely terrified by what was undoubtedly a frightening ordeal for them.

“We are appealing to anyone who may have noticed anything suspicious in the Castle Street area during this time or who may have noticed these masked men to get in touch.”

The group are described as all wearing black clothing with their hoods up and had gloves on.

Two of the men are believed to be around 6ft and the others approximately 5ft 11.

All of the suspects were of slim build and one of the men was wearing dark green coloured trainers.

Inquiries remain ongoing and anyone who has mobile, doorbell or CCTV footage that could help the investigation is asked to contact police on 101 quoting reference number 2196 11/09/23.
