A MAN in his fifties has been attacked with baseball bats after a gang broke into his home in Larne.

The victim was at the Greenisland Parade property in the Antiville area at 10pm on Monday when five men forced their way inside and assaulted him.

He was taken to hospital with injuries to his right leg, ribs and right arm.

Police said last night that a motive "remains under investigation" and appealed for anyone with information to contact Larne CID on the 101 non-emergency number or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
