Two people have been arrested following a police investigation into a number of burglaries across the Fermanagh area.
District Support Team officers stopped a vehicle last week just outside Irvinestown following reports of several burglaries.
A search of the vehicle uncovered items in the boot which police said were linked to a burglary in which copper had been stripped from a building.
Among the items pictured by police were sweets which are believed to have been stolen during one of the burglaries.
The driver and passenger were subsequently arrested on suspicion of burglary.

Follow-up searches at a property in Enniskillen led to the discovery of further items which police said linked the arrested persons to another burglary which had taken place the previous night.
As a result of the investigation, one person was charged and appeared at court the following day, while another is due to appear before court later this month.
Some of the stolen property has since been returned to local business owners, which police said would hopefully help lessen their financial loss.
The owner of the vehicle has also been reported for allegedly misusing a Motability vehicle.
Police said the vehicle's lease has now been terminated and the car is due to be recovered.
