A ROBBER forced his way into a man's home and scared the victim into handing over money.

The thief called at the 58-year-old man's house in Leef Street, Moldgreen, at 9.40 last night.

He asked if the victim's son was at home, but when he said he was out, the intruder forced his way in, grabbed the victim and dragged him into the living-room in a headlock.

He then demanded cash and the victim handed over £15.

The intruder left with the cash.

He is white, in his late teens, 6ft and slim.

He wore a black top with white stripes down the sleeves.

Anyone with information should contact Det Sgt David Campbell on 01484 436582.
