Copper stripped from vacant building

DETECTIVES in Magherafelt are appealing for information following a burglary in the Bridge Street area of Castledawson.

Thieves entered the vacant property and stripped copper from the building as well as causing some internal damage as a result. Lead flashing from roof of the house and a neighbouring bar were also stolen.

It is believed that entry was gained to the property through a rear upstairs bedroom window and that the stolen metal was taken out this way and into the car park of the bar.
