The intruders helped themselves to numerous items of jewellery.

The PSNI in Armagh is urging vigilance and for the public to report anything out of the usual.

They issued advice via Facebook saying: “We are asking the public to keep an eye out on these dark evenings and report any suspicious behaviour.

“We can’t stress enough that we need the eye and ears of the public. If you think it’s odd or not right then so will we. Leave it to us to ask the those questions in person.

“Note registrations and give us a good description and the direction of travel.”
