Gardaí in Dundalk are appealing for witnesses following a break-in to a home of two elderly women in the town on Monday night.
The incident happened between 10.15pm and 10.30pm in the Parnell Park area. The women, who are in their 80s, were asleep at the time before being awoken by three men, who told them not to be afraid.
The men then ransacked the house and escaped via the rear of the property with a small sum of money.
The women were unhurt during the break-in but were understandably shaken.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact Dundalk Garda Station on 042 9335577.
