A burglary at a charity in Lurgan has been described as an "attack on the whole community".

The break-in happened at Mount Zion House early this morning and a suspect was seen making off from the scene.

In a statement on Twitter the PSNI described him as: a man, approximately 35 years of age with heavy build and facial stubble wearing a dark hat & dark jacket and light jeans.

Upper Bann MLA, Carla Lockhart has told Q Radio it's "disgusting".

Ms Lockhart also said "There has been a lot of burglaries in the area over the past number of months and I met with the Police this week to press for a dedicated anti burglary policing team within E District. There are far to many resources tied up in non essential administrative jobs and I believe we need to see the public protected from these thieves and an increased presence on the ground.

Adding, "I would urge anyone with any information to call the police on the non emergency number 101 and quote reference 19 of 03/02/18."
