A 59-year-old man with learning difficulties has been robbed at his home in Co Derry. A masked man with a handgun forced his way into the house at Bready on the main Derry to Strabane road on Wednesday night.

The victim was bound and gagged before the robber took off with a small sum of money. Police believe the man was deliberately targeted because of his disability.
