Detective Sergeant Colhoun said: "It was reported just after 11.50pm that at around 11.30pm, two men knocked at the door of a property in the Dernaflaw Cottages area, before entering and stealing two firearms and a quantity of ammunition.
“One of the suspects forced a man upstairs to retrieve the firearms from a safe.
"All five people, which included a man, a woman and their three children who were in the house at the time, were thankfully physically uninjured, but have been left extremely shaken by the ordeal.
"One of the suspects is described as being around 6ft tall, wearing dark clothing with a white snood, work boots and orange gloves. The second is described as being around 5ft 5ins in height, wearing a navy jacket, white snood and baseball cap with work boots. Both men had their faces completely covered, apart from the eyes and it is believed they left the area on foot.
