Police Appeal Following Number Of Incidents In Carrickfergus
Police are appealing for witnesses following a number of overnight incidents in Carrickfergus.
A van was set on fire, tools and equipment were stolen, and a number of businesses were broken into in the Marshallstown Road area.
It is thought that some of the incidents happened at an industrial estate off the Marshallstown Road and police believe they are linked.
The van was found on fire in the Oakfield Drive area at around 4.30am.
Sergeant Tracy Watterson said: "We believe that this incident is linked to the report of a break-in at premises on the Marshalltown Road in which a van was stolen, a number of vehicles entered and tools and equipment stolen.
"Police received a further four reports this morning that other businesses on the Marshalltown Road area had been broken into. The doors of a coffee shop were smashed and a number of rooms inside ransacked. Tills in the premises were broken into but the thieves made off empty-handed.
"Burglaries also took place at a nearby car repair business, a building supply company and a beauty salon.
"Anyone who has any information that could help our investigation into these incidents should contact police on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference 120 of 6/9/17."
