Gardai are investigating an aggravated burglary in Dublin.
Two men entered a house on the Old Cabra road at around ten past three yesterday morning.
There were three adults and two young children in the house at the time.
Cable ties were used restrain two of the adults- who were also threatened with physical violence.
The raiders got away with a quantity of cash- and nobody was injured in the incident.
Both men spoke with Dublin accents were wearing khaki and navy combat trousers and black wooly hats.
Gardai are now appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
