A MAN has been shot in the face with a pellet gun during an aggravated burglary at a house in Plumbridge, Co Tyrone.
It is understood three men forced their way into the house on the Landahussy Road at around 1am this morning. They demanded money from the lone male occupant before becoming involved in an altercation with him. During the scuffle, a pellet gun was discharged, striking the 45-year-old victim in the face.
The intruders subsequently made off from the property with a sum of cash.
The resident was treated by paramedics for minor facial injuries but did not require hospital treatment.
Detective Sergeant Brian Reid said: “We are keen to hear from anyone who may have been in the area and who noticed any people or vehicles. Detectives can be contacted by calling 101.”
