Three men were spotted fleeing from a car in Lurgan following a burgling spree in nearby Portadown on Sunday evening.
Police confirmed that a 29-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of a number of offences, however, two unidentified males, believed to have been involved remain unaccounted for.
Between 8pm and 9pm on Sunday, four properties were burgled in Clanbrassil Drive; Village Walk; Clonavon Avenue and Ridgeway park areas of Portadown.
One of the men entered a property as a 101-year-old lay asleep in her bed.
Cash and a quantity of jewellery were taken and the elderly woman was left distressed and extremely frightened by the ordeal.
In a separate burglary the male occupant of the house disturbed the intruder and although he was not injured, he too was left badly shaken.
