Irwin slams Co Armagh pick-up thefts

Newry & Armagh DUP Assemblyman William Irwin MLA has slammed those responsible for the theft of three pick-ups within a mile and a half radius.

Mr Irwin said police are fully aware of the incidents which happened on the Markethill Road and Mullurg Road and believe an organised crime gang are responsible or a series of thefts.

Mr Irwin stated: “I am aware that a Ford Ranger was taken from a farm on the Markethill Road Portadown in recent weeks and also two VW Amorak pickups were taken from a farm on Mullurg Road last night which is very concerning for the owners of these vehicles.
