Burglary / Suspicious Vehicle
Around 2:45pm yesterday afternoon at least two males using a black Renault Megane are believed to have activated a house alarm in a property on the Mullaghcarton Road area of Lisburn. It is believed that these males were using a black Renault Megane car.
Around 1:15pm an elderly resident in Killowen Park Lisburn disturbed two teenagers in the house who made off with a handbag and cash. Both were males described as one wearing a royal blue top and the other wearing a black hoody.
Also in Killowen Park around 1pm two males were noted acting suspiciously around various properties. One is described as wearing a dark denim shirt and the other wearing a baseball cap. They were observed driving off in a black car.
The three incidents may well be connected.
Did you observe a black Renault Megane style car in the area? Can you offer a description of the two males involved or a registration of the vehicles?
If so please contact police with details. Please be aware of any activity involving a vehicle or persons as described above acting suspiciously in your area and contact police if concerned.
Theft
A 15' Super Simms speedboat and trailer were stolen between Tuesday 21st June and Thursday morning from a property on the Old Ballynahinch Road, Lisburn.
The boat is white in colour. Did you see any boats being towed in the area and if son can you decribe the vehicle, occupants or details of the registration?
If so please contact police at Lisburn.
Suspicious Vehicle
A burglary / vehicle theft was interrupted at Robinsons 4x4 Sales, Moira Road Hillsborough. Three males were believed to be trying to steal a vehicle when disturbed by neighbours. They made off in a red Audi A4 car towards the A1 carriageway.
Again if you can assist in identifying this vehicle or occupants please contact police with details.

On 31/05/2011 a local female resident received a call from a foreign male purporting to represent “Microsoft Windows”. He used the name A.J or Ajay Shaw. He stated 'Would you please put your laptop on, we have knowledge that there is a hacker in your machine'. He asked the female to go into Windows and then a pop-up came up on her screen with times and dates when a hacker was allegedly trying to get into the machine. He proceeded to say he would put a temporary block on the hacker and that he would report it.
The male then said that the warranty on her machine was up and that if the female paid an amount they would secure the system. A pop-up window appeared asking for her details including credit card details, which she entered.
The phone call lasted 55mins in total. The victim later phoned BT and they stated that the telephone number that the call had been made from was 'Unavailable'. BT believe that this was a foreign call.
The victim is ex-directory and the caller appeared to know the victims full name.
There have been a number of similar reports over recent weeks, and criminals are constantly identifying and developing new methods to defraud innocent members of the public.
WARNING! If you receive any unsolicited calls where you are asked to provide your name, date of birth and any bank / credit card details – DO NOT provide these details over the phone. If the caller represents a legitimate company, advise them to send their request in writing.
If you are shopping on the internet, make sure that before you provide any details of Debit or Credit cards that you are actually on a secure site. If you regularly shop “on-line”, you should consider setting up a PAYPAL account.
