Acting Detective Chief Inspector Peter Brophy said:
“I would remind people that if they see anything suspicious, do call the police either on 101, or on 999 if they think a crime is actually in progress.
“It only takes a second or two to make that call. Once we are alerted, officers can quickly check out what’s happening. Crimes can be prevented by members of the public giving us an immediate call if they suspect something untoward going on,” he added.
