UPDATE – vehicle has been located by police.
A black Audi has been stolen from a house at Rogan Manor in Mallusk in Newtownabbey.
Police believe the theft happened between 9pm and 10:45pm last night (Monday).
The registration is NU13 XZF.
The theft has prompted police to remind people to turn lights on and to watch out for anyone acting suspiciously.
Police say there have been several reports recently of burglaries and attempted burglaries.
“With the dark cold nights it’s easier for those unsavoury types to skulk around looking for opportunities. Remember to lock your doors and windows…even if you are in the house! Turn outside lights on, turn inside lights on, have cameras or camera doorbells if you can,” said a police spokesperson.
And residents are asked to check in on elderly neighbours.
“They not only deter but also capture evidence. Most importantly be alert… if you see anything suspicious report it. Know who your neighbours are. Check in on your elderly neighbours,” added the spokesperson.
If you saw anything suspicious in relation to the theft of the black Audi, call 101 quoting ref 268 of the 29.10.19.
