Thefts from cars

Around 9am two individuals in the Northwood and Melrose Park areas reported that their vehicles had been entered and a quantity of personal documents taken.

The haul included driving licences, tax discs and bank cards.

The vehicles had been left temporarily unattended when the incidents occurred.

Some items were found and handed in to police by a member of the public a short time later.

A police spokesperson said: "We cannot stress enough the importance of ensuring all motorised vehicles are kept locked and inaccessible to potential thieves.

"Leaving your vehicle, for however short a period, in an unlocked state or with keys in the ignition, is an open invitation to any opportunistic passer-by or 'would be' thief.

"Avoid keeping any valuable personal documentation or information in your vehicle at any time and never leave it unlocked, or with open doors or windows. Remember this simple rule - 'close it:lock it'."

Anyone with information on these incidents should contact police in Lurgan on 0845 600 8000 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
