Police in Armagh have arrested four people following a burglary in Richhill.
Sergeant Steven Sproule explained: “We received a report of a man acting suspiciously at a house in Millview Close around 11pm on Friday, 9 January.
The male was observed leaving the property with a flat screen television and making off in a silver Volkswagen Golf.
“We attended immediately and found that the house had been burgled. Another police crew was on patrol in the local area and stopped a silver Golf car on Corcreevy Road a short time later. The vehicle was searched and a quantity of tools were recovered. Four people travelling in the car were arrested and a television was later recovered.
“We would like to thank the public for their assistance which led to the recovery of stolen property and the arrest of four people. Reducing burglary is a priority for us in our local policing plan and this shows how effective we can be when we work together.”
