Information sought following Ahoghill burglaries
Police in the Mid and East Antrim district are investigating reports of two recent burglaries and suspicious activity in the Ahoghill area.
In the first incident, officers received a report at approximately 2.30pm on Sunday, June 2 of a burglary in the Carnearney Road area.
A vacant property was entered and a number of windows were smashed – it is believed a barometer was taken – but later located nearby.
A second report was received shortly after 3.30am on Tuesday, June 18 of a burglary at commercial premises on the Crosskeys Road.
Detailing the incident, a PSNI spokesperson explained: “CCTV was reviewed and observed two men, who were wearing dark trousers and dark tops, alongside scarfs and material
covering their head within the yard.
"They entered an area containing tools before exiting, driving the van and attempting to cut down a fence using an angle grinder.
“The suspects were disturbed by the owner of the property and fled on foot into a nearby field. At this stage it is believed nothing was taken.
“We are asking anyone who witnessed anything suspicious, or out of the ordinary to call us on 101, quoting reference 136 18/06/24.
