Three pensioners have been robbed of cash by a gang of men in three separate incidents in Belfast on Thursday night.
Four masked men forced their way into the house of a 79-year-old man in the Stockman's Lane area at about 1835 GMT.
Thirty minutes later, four men, one of whom was armed with a hook-like weapon, entered a pensioner's home at Montreal Street, near the Crumlin Road.
A 79-year-old man was later robbed by four men at his home at Orient Gardens, near the Cliftonville Road.
Police are investigating whether the three crimes are linked.
All of the men are said to be shaken by their ordeal.
