“Within 3 minutes, C section crews had a male detained. A second followed shortly after.
“We’ve seized balaclavas, a hack saw and clothing.
“The best bit about this story is not having to tell you about a serious crime that took place, like a robbery or an aggravated burglary. Thanks to the prompt phone calls and top notch descriptions we received, whatever it was was averted.
“Well done to the North Lurgan community for getting onto us so quickly about this. Never assume someone else will phone, and if we get numerous calls about the same thing, it helps build the picture.
