Two men are recovering after an armed gang threatened them and tied them up with cable ties in an attempted armed robbery in Antrim.
A 19-year-old answered the door of a house at Moneynick Road on Sunday.
He was threatened by a man with a hand gun who tied him up. Two more men, both masked and armed, broke into the house.
A second man, 29, returned home later that night to find the gunmen inside. He was tied up and the gang demanded money and keys. They left empty-handed.
The two men were not injured but were shaken by their ordeal.
In a separate robbery in Newry, a gun was held to the head of a member of staff in a fast food restaurant on Sunday night.
Three men entered the shop in Bridge Street at about 2300 BST.
They threatened staff and made off with cash and phones.
