Police are appealing for information following the report of a burglary at an address in the Grove Hill area of Banbridge at the weekend.

“The woman was not injured, however, she has been left shaken by the incident. Nothing is believed to have been taken, however, damage was caused to a window at the property.

“I want to appeal to anyone who was in the Grove Hill area last night, around 7:40pm and saw any suspicious activity, or who has information which may assist our investigation to call us on the non emergency number 101, quoting reference 1275 of 16/02/19.”

Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.”
