Police received several reports of thefts, attempted break-ins, burglaries and suspicious activity in Talbot Park, Kingsfort Park, Gleneagles, Hampstead Park, Lisnarea Avenue and Shantallow Avenue.
A PSNI spokeswoman says police believe all the incidents are linked.
“Two youths wearing hoodie tops, one a grey colour and the other a dark colour were seen at some of the locations at the time of the incidents,” she says.
“A house at Lisnarea Avenue was broken into and car keys stolen. A grey coloured Vauxhall Zafira car, registration OUI 9451 was stolen and Police are asking anyone who sees the vehicle to report it immediately. A white coloured Berlingo van was also stolen but was recovered by Police.

“Police believe two houses at Gleneagles were broken into, a garage entered at Talbot Park and vehicles broken into at Hampstead Park. The window of a car was smashed at Shantallow Avenue and two youths were seen running off.”
