Two guest workers were robbed after two men forced their way into their apartment demanding money.

Police attended the incident which took place at the Rosemont Guest Apartments, in Pembroke, where two overseas contract workers were staying.

They said that at about 10.30 p.m. on Friday, they heard a knock at the door of their apartment.
