A BRAVE 80-year-old woman yelled 'get out of my house' after a gang of masked men entered her bedroom in the evening.
The brave pensioner had just turned off the lights to go to sleep when three men wearing balaclavas broke into her home.
The woman's daughter, who wished to remain anonymous, said she was shocked by her mother's bravery because she is typically very mild-mannered.
The daughter added: "I was amazed at how brave she is, I don't think it has hit her just yet, but I think it will when she is in bed tonight.
"They entered the home and had a look inside every room, but they didn't take anything.
The men entered the woman's bedroom in the evening- just 10 minutes after she turned off her lights for the night.
Her daughter added: "She is very calm, she doesn't swear or drink, but she yelled so loud, she told us her throat started to hurt afterwards.
"I think the family is very shocked, nothing like this has happened before.
"We're shocked and angry."
