TWO men have been charged in connection with an aggravated burglary in Donegal on Sunday evening.
The incident happened at Doaghbeg in Fanad at around 8.15 pm.
The PSNI said that a 33-year-old man was charged with theft and handling property stolen in the Republic of Ireland.
A second man, aged 32, was charged with two counts of criminal damage, handling property stolen in the south, no driving licence and using a motor vehicle without insurance.
The charges arise out of a car being stopped by police on the Lifford Road, in the Strabane area on Sunday.
The elderly couple were left badly bruised and traumatised in the incident at Doaghbeg on the Fanad peninsula on Sunday evening.
The terrified couple were able to tell investigating gardaí that the men involved in the attack had Dublin accents and were able to describe the getaway car.
The suspects, understood to be from Tallaght, were arrested after a cross-border alert was raised by gardaí.
They were detained as they bought diesel at a service station in Strabane, just 50 metres inside the North of Ireland.
