Residents in Dungannon have been urged to be “vigilant” following a report of a theft from a vehicle.
The incident occurred in the Bovean Road area on Wednesday, October 8.

Sharing CCTV footage relating to the incident on social media, one resident urged those in the community to be vigilant, saying: “Major concern needs raised… see video from Wednesday morning at 2.07am [which was attached to the original post].
“We have CCTV now of another male, earlier at a nearby property.
“Please can everyone with CCTV between Bovean, Killyman, Tamnamore, can you please check your cameras on Wednesday early morning between 1.30am and 2.30am.
“Reports of multiple thefts in surrounding areas makes us believe they are trying to see what’s around before acting.”
DUP Cllr Clement Cuthbertson added to the advice: “Please be vigilant, especially now on the run up to Christmas as theft always increases this time of year. Keep a look out also for vulnerable neighbours.”
