Newry Mourne and Down locals are being urged to get involved with Neighbourhood Watch schemes after a surge in burglaries in the Bessbrook and Camlough areas.
Locals have been living in fear and anger after more than fourteen break-ins or break-in attempts were reported in less than two weeks.
Police had a break-through when the car linked with the burglaries was found, seized and forensically examined.
It was the result of vigilance by the public.
PCSP chair Brian Quinn says a Neighbourhood watch scheme can deter criminals:
Murder investigation launched following death of man in Coleraine
Man arrested over threats to elected representatives
Teachers’ unions welcome pay increase while pledging to tackle workload
Minister to explore if he can enforce use of Ulster Banner at Commonwealth Games
