Whilst at the scene, it was discovered by officers that another property in the same vicinity had been broken into and examination is ongoing to establish if anything has been taken.

Around an hour later, it was reported that a bronze Citroen Berlingo van had been stolen from the area of Tracy's Way.

Police say this is believed to be linked to the report of a road traffic collision at around 11.30pm at the Magherabuoy roundabout.

"The occupants of the car had made off from the scene prior to police attendance, being transported by a silver Ford Fiesta,” a PSNI spokesperson said.

"We are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed anything suspicious or may have video footage, CCTV or other to get in contact to 101 quoting reference 1659 17/01/25.”
