Arrests
A vigilant off duty officer noted three males in a vehicle giving undue attention to a cash delivery in the Sprucefield Park complex yesterday morning. A quick "exchange" of glances further prompted the officers instincts to make the phone call for assistance.
A quick response to the officers report by local colleagues resulted in the three gentlemen and their vehicle being stopped and searched.
The result - 3 arrests for several offences including the taking of a motor vehicle, drugs possession, handling stolen goods, fraud and possession of an imitation firearm with intent.
An excellent result and always be wary of giving the unknown cop the old "are you looking at me?!" stare........a good police officer is on duty 24/7.

All areas - Rogue Traders, Scam artists and Distraction Burglaries
Police would encourage all in the TAOR to be become more aware and discerning regarding door to door tradesmen. An increase in the numbers of reported sighting and incidents was causing concern. There is no stereotypical pattern and many will not be indigenous to Ireland or Northern Ireland. Their attire will vary as will their methods of trying to extract money. When in doubt don't ! but the police should be informed if residents have an unsatisfactory encounter. If money is demanded by force or menaces the police should be informed immediately. Communities should keep a watchful eye over vulnerable groups and be always vigilant to home, car and personal security.
