A gang of men in balaclavas, one with a suspected gun - have broken in to a house in Derry-Londonderry.
It happened in the Altcar Park area.
It's understood they caused damage to the inside of the house before leaving without using the firearm.
Detective Constable Miller said, "At approximately 10:00pm police received reports that a number of persons wearing balaclavas one of whom was reported to be in possession of a firearm, forced entry into the property and caused damage to the inside of it before making off.
"The occupier was at home but uninjured as a result of the incident."
Local councillor Caoimhe McKnight has condemned the incident:
Anyone with information is urged to dial 101 quoting reference 1364 07/11/17, or to give information anonymously by calling CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111.”
