An investigation continues following a series of burglaries in Armagh and Craigavon, where more than £12,000 was stolen from elderly people.

Police are considering the possibility that they could be linked.

Cash of £10,000 and US$600 were stolen from a flat in the Lir Fold, Clay Road in Keady last Thursday evening. A man was seen in the area at around 7:30pm. (Reference 658 of 27/10/17.)

And on Saturday in Riverside, Gilford, a house was ransacked and some items of sentimental value were taken between noon and midnight. (Reference 1794 of 28/10/17.)

Later that same day between 5:30pm and 7:30pm £2,000 cash was stolen from a house in Wolf Island Terrace in Derrymacash. (1371 of 28/10/17.)

Police are urging anyone who may have noticed unusual activity, people or vehicles to get in touch.
