Rogue Traders / Rural Thefts

 

 

There have been a number of rural break-ins over the last couple of weeks and reports of persons calling at houses offering tools for sale.

 

Please be reminded of securing property when out and to be wary of cold callers offering items for sale. These may well be genuine but no doubt any goods sold to you may prove difficult to replace / refund if faulty given the nature of the sale / sellers involved. Buyer beware!

 

Again be aware of elderly and vulnerable neighbours and family who may fall to pressure selling.

 

There have also been reports of callers seeking scrap metal.

 

Activity has been reported in the Drumbo and Saintfield Road Lisburn area where a white van with registration similar to FXZ3412 and occupants have been offering generators and power saws for sale.

Plant / Agricultural Theft

 

 

There continues to be thefts of building plant, trailers and agricultural plant.

 

Again contractors and farmers are requested to ensure that when not in use these machines are properly secured and any suspicious activity should be reported and any details of suspicious vehicles or persons involved.

 

Also retain details such as model and chassis numbers and distinctive features which are vital if police recover or stop suspected stolen vehicles or plant.
