Police are warning the public to be vigilant and protect their property over Christmas.
Officers are continuing to investigate a number of unsolved burglaries and attempted thefts at properties which have been left insecure or unoccupied.
In the early hours of this morning police were called to Farmhill after reports of a suspicious male in the area trying the lock of a property.
This type of crime typically spikes at this time of year - sergeant Michelle McKillop says Christmas is easily ruined if people aren't taking precautions:
She says the message is simple:
Free entry for children's Wildlife Park event!
Turkish interpreter needed for court
Want to be a commissioner on multiple boards?
