Sinn Féin Councillor Tony Hassan has said there is concern in Culmore following a spate of burglaries over recent days.
Councillor Hassan said “There is concern in the community after a number of burglaries in the Culmore area over Christmas .
I would urge people to be vigilant especially over the rest of festive holidays.
I am aware of homes and cars being targeted in Ardnalee and Spruce Meadows area by heartless thieves.
In light of these recent break-ins I would appeal to residents to take a few minutes each night to ensure their property has been locked and valuables are stored securely out of sight.
The physiological effect a burglary has on a family or a someone trying to run a small business can far outweigh any financial loss that they may suffer. I would urge communities to look out for each other and report any suspicious activity to the PSNI.
