Police Investigate Home Invasion Incidents In Newry
Local police are investigating two home invasion incidents that occurred in the Newry area on Saturday, 05 October. In both cases, a male suspect entered the homes of older residents under the guise of offering gutter cleaning services.
The first incident took place around 11:00am in Loanda Crescent. A resident was approached by the suspect at her front door but refused his services. However, the suspect was later discovered to have entered the property through a rear door. The resident was able to scare him away.
The second incident occurred shortly before noon in Ardgreen Drive. The suspect was able to enter the home of an elderly man and steal a safe and a bank card. The victim has been left deeply shaken by the ordeal.
Detectives are keen to hear from anyone with information and would also like to speak to anyone who believes this male may also have called at their address. Please call 101, quoting references 547 and 639 of 05/10/24. Alternatively you can submit information online at www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/
