Man Charged With Creeper Burglaries
A 28-year-old man has been charged in connection with a number of creeper burglaries.
The incidents happened in Co Antrim earlier this month.
The man, who has not been named, is charged with two counts of burglary and one count of attempted burglary.
Properties in the Ballycarry, Glenarm and Greenisland areas had been targeted, with car keys being taken from inside the homes before the intruders escaped in the vehicles.
The accused is due to appear at Coleraine Magistrates' Court on Friday.
Appeal After Chemicals Are Stolen
Police have launched an appeal after chemicals were stolen from a lab in south Belfast on Thursday.
The theft happened around around 11.40am yesterday (26 June).
It is thought that four containers of a chemical, 'Silicagel 60A for flash chromatography', were taken from the laboratory on the Malone Road.
The containers may have a blue, red or white life and small, white rectangular labels on the front.
In its dry form, the substance is a very fine white powder and has the potential to cause damage to lungs if inhaled.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
