Police Say Carjackings Not Connected

Police have dismissed claims that four carjackings that have occurred in the last week are connected.

All four incidents happened in the Belfast City area and all the victims were women. Meanwhile all four cars were found burnt out in the Divis and Grosvenor areas of West Belfast.

Police have however said that evidence collected at this point does not connect the incidents and there are no links at this point to suggest the crimes were committed by the same people.
