Jewellery and cash stolen in latest burglary

The incident in the Pennyburn area is among the latest in a string of burglaries at homes across Derry over recent weeks and months.

In an appeal issued overnight, PSNI Detective Sergeant Reid said: “It was reported that sometime between 4.00pm and 8.00pm entry was gained to the property and a sum of cash and jewellery including gold rings, chains and earrings stolen.

“Detectives are appealing to anyone that may have witnessed any suspicious activity in the area during the past week to contact Detectives in Strand Road on 101, quoting reference 1291 22/2/18.

“Or, alternatively if someone would prefer to provide information without giving their details they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers and speak to them anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
