The PSNI said they understand the vehicles were all targeted sometime between 7pm on Wednesday, January 4, and 7am on Thursday, January 5.

Sergeant Harkin added: "We are keen to speak to two males, described as being of slim build and aged in their late teens, who are believed to have been in the area during this time.

"We are treating these incidents as linked, at this time, and as our enquiries continue, we would appeal to anyone who may have information which could assist us, including CCTV, dashcam or other video footage, to contact us on 101 quoting reference 249 of 5/1/23."

Cllr Joe Duffy urged residents to be vigilant. He said: "Police are conducting door to door visits around Lagmore due to a number of attempts to gain entry to cars and properties.

"Please ensure your cars are locked and houses secure with all valuables out of sight."

Local MLA Danny Baker added: "Over the past number of evenings there have been attempted burglaries in the Colin. Please be vigilant and look out for vulnerable neighbours."
