Jeep stolen in Moy recovered after police chase across the border

The jeep was taken during a creeper style burglary at Ridgewood Manor in Moy in the early hours of Wednesday, March 23.

A PSNI spokesman said it was reported that at around 1.25am, entry was forced through a rear door of the house and the keys to a dark grey Toyota Hilux 4x4 were taken from the kitchen. The householder was awakened by the sound of his vehicle starting and alerted police.

A short time later in Aughnacloy, the stolen Toyota Hilux, bearing false number plates, made off from police across the border and was subsequently recovered near Emyvale.

Inspector Keith Jamieson, from Dungannon Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “I would appeal to anyone who saw anything suspicious in Ridgewood Manor around the time of the burglary, or anyone who may have any information whatsoever, to contact the police in Dungannon on 101.”
