Appeal After 'Distraction' Burglary
Detectives in Newry, County Down have appealed for information following a report of a distraction burglary and people acting suspiciously.
Sometime between 13:00 and 14:00 on Friday, two unknown males called to the house of an elderly woman in the Millview Park area of Richhill.
The men said they were there to check her cooker. They entered the house, looked at the cooker and then left. It is not believed that anything has been stolen.
Police then received a report at about 16:00 later that day that a man in the Cloveneden Road area of Loughgall had observed three men acting suspiciously at the rear of his home. They were in a silver car.
When the man asked them what they were doing, they told him they were "looking for someone."
Then just before 16:30 it was reported that an unknown man had called to the home of an elderly man in the Drumanphy Road area of Portadown, County Armagh, enquiring about replacing electricity poles.
The householder went outside and came back into his house, where he discovered two unknown males inside. They ran out the front door and it is believed they they left the scene in a car. It was subsequently discovered that a sum of money had been stolen.

Omagh Farmer Convicted
A farmer in Omagh, County Tyrone, has been convicted of one charge of fraud by false representation and one charge of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal.
Richard Beattie, Glenpark Road, pleaded guilty on Friday at Omagh Magistrates’ Court and was ordered to pay a compensation order of £1,572. He received a conditional discharge for 12 months.
The second charge arose from a routine inspection at Gortin Market in November 2013, when the Central Enforcement Team discovered a sheep with an injured leg. The sheep was subsequently humanely destroyed by a Department Veterinary Officer.
