Callous thieves target workers at NI hospital

It is understood the tools were taken from a job which was underway at Craigavon Area Hospital.

The PSNI said: “We are investigating the theft of tools from the outpatients department of Craigavon Area hospital on Saturday 4th April.

“Were you in the outpatients department at around 12pm and did you notice anything suspicious?

“We are particularly keen to speak with two males who may have left the area shortly after the incident on push bikes.

“Have you been offered tools for sale recently in suspicious circumstances?

“If you can help us please call 101 and quote reference 1213 6/4/2020.”
