Councillor Duffy said it’s the second time in a month the area has been targeted and called for vigilance, “This despicable act mirrors a burglary last month with the back door and window being forced open and an area being bleached to cover potential evidence.

“I would ask people to be vigilant day and report any suspicious activity in the area to the PSNI straight away.”
