A 77-year-old woman got the fright of her life last night when four hooded men barged into her bedroom and demanded cash. They went off with a 'minimal' amount, the police said.
The incident happened shortly after 1 a.m. in a house in the countryside of Lunzjata near Rabat.
The woman was in her bedroom when the four hooded men entered her house. One of them brandished a knife.
The woman was threatened as the intruders demanded cash.
They went off with a small amount. The woman was not injured.
Magistrate Consuelo Scerri Herrera is holding an inquiry.
