Two masked thieves allegedly held a senior citizen at gunpoint in his Qormi home early this morning before making off with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Police said they were called to the house on Triq il-Blata at around 1.30am, where the 86-year-old victim lives. 

The man told officers that one of the men, armed with what he believed was a firearm, kept an eye on him while his accomplice ransacked the house. The robbery victim was not injured in the incident.

Police say they are investigating further.
