Waterford Gardaí are appealing for information after an aggravated burglary saw a young man held at knifepoint.
It happened last Friday evening. Between 7 and 8pm, two men entered a home in the Priory Lawn area of Ballybeg.
They were in the process of taking items from one of the bedrooms when they were disturbed by the home-owner's 19-year-old son.
As Sergeant Deirdre O'Neill has told WLR's Waterford Garda Watch, they then threatened the young man with a knife.
"They had already taken a number of items at this stage and they then produced a knife, walking downstairs and fleeing the house."
The two then fled the scene with a number of items that are of sentimental value to the owner, in particular a string of pearls, a ring, and a Pandora bracelet. A sum of money was also taken.
Gardaí are asking with any information or who saw any suspicious activity in the Ballybeg area on Friday evening last to get in touch.
Waterford Garda Station can be reached on 051 305 300.
