A crime spree in Camlough and Bessbrook has brought neighbours closer together.
That's from Declan Murphy chair of the Camlough Community Association.
Neighbourhood Watch schemes have been set up, and more locals are checking in on each other.
It follows reports of more than fourteen burglaries during a two-week period.
Declan told Q Radio's Iveren McCallion the response online was also unprecedented:
Man in 90s dies following Co Down road crash
Police to increase patrols after second incident of shots being fired in Belfast
Woman charged over theft of campaigner’s car ‘must stay out of Belfast’
Bluetongue restrictions in Northern Ireland will be relaxed from Friday
Conviction led to safeguarding review at Presbyterian Church
