A gang of masked men threw a teenage boy in a bath of water and threatened him
with a stun gun during a robbery, last night.
The youth's ordeal happened when the gang forced their way into a house in Castledawson, Co Derry.
A couple and their three teenage sons were in the house during the assault, which happened around 11.30 p.m.
Members of the gang beat the father and used a stun gun on him as they demanded money. They were given a substantial amount of cash but insisted on more before throwing one of the sons into a bath of water and threatened to use the stun gun on him.
The family were tied up and locked in the attic as the gang fled.
The father and son suffered minor injuries, and the entire family were shocked by their ordeal.
It is believed a van and a car may have been used in the robbery.
