A man in his 20's is being treated in hospital for head injuries after being attacked during a burglary in West Belfast.
It happened in the Lenadoon Avenue area in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Police say a number of masked men forced their way into the property and assaulted two men who were inside, before making off with a black Adidas camouflage bag.
Detective Sergeant Sam McCallum said:
"We received a report just after 1:40am that a number of masked males forced entry to the property and assaulted two men who were inside.
"The assailants then fled, taking a black Adidas camouflage bag with them.
"One of the men, both of whom are aged in their 20s, was treated at hospital for injuries to his head.
"Our enquiries are at an early stage, and I am appealing to anyone who was in the area around this time and saw three males acting suspiciously, or has information which could assist our investigation to get in touch with detectives at Musgrave on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 68 of 14/09/18.
