Distraction Burglaries
Three persons were responsible for an attempted distraction burglary at approximately 4:40pm in Hillsborough yesterday afternoon.
Two males in their mid-late 20s called at the home of an elderly female saying they were from NIE and they wanted to check a telegraph pole in the rear garden. A third male, wearing grey trousers and a blue top with dark hairwas standing in the street waiting for them.
They were believed to be using a black Audi with silver roof rails. No registration identified as yet.
A similar incident occurred in the Newtownards area around lunchtime also involving 3 males.
On Thursday 23 August 3 around 530pm males also claimed to be heating engineers in order to gain access to a property in the Lawnmount Crescent area of Lisburn.
Please make elderly neighbours / relatives aware of bogus callers operating in the area. Any legitimate callers will have correct identification and will allow time for checks to be carried out.
Please report any suspicious callers to police and if possible note details of any vehicles and registration.
