Two vehicles seized as PSNI probe spate of thefts

Police investigating a series of thefts from properties in South Fermanagh areas have seized a car and a van and recovered suspected stolen items.

Properties in the Brookeborough, Newtownbutler, Lisnaskea and Maguiresbridge areas had all been targeted by thieves.

Chief Inspector Robert McGowan said, “As part of our ongoing investigation into the series of thefts which we believe may be linked, we recovered a car and a van in Lisnaskea on Wednesday (May 19). The van contained a number of suspected stolen items and both vehicles have been recovered for forensic examination.

“The incidents have included the theft of galvanised gates, plant, agricultural and gardening machinery, bicycles and tools from garages, sheds, yards and outbuildings.

“While our investigation is ongoing, it is important that we all work together to make the countryside safer for everyone. In the first instance, if you notice any activity that raises your suspicion, report it straight away to police,” he urged.
