It was reported that sometime between 11pm on Tuesday night and 8am yesterday morning a house on the Favour Royal Road had been entered and the keys to two vehicles taken.

The two vehicles, a BMW 535D and an Audi Q7, were then stolen.

Shortly after 9.15am yesterday morning it was reported that a house on the Lisnawery Road had been entered and the keys to two vehicles taken.
