A 41-year-old man has been arrested by detectives investigating a burglary in the Shore Road area of north Belfast on Sunday (24 May).
Police say a man entered a residential garage beside a house in the area just before 4am.
It was reported the man had put a number of items into a car parked in the garage. The occupants of the property then confronted the man, who then made off towards the Fairview area following the incident.
A short time later, the man was arrested in the Waveney Avenue area on suspicion of burglary with intent to steal, going equipped for theft, possession of a Class A controlled drug, possession of a Class B controlled drug and possession of a Class C controlled drug. He is currently assisting police with their enquiries.
Detective Sergeant Eric Fairfield is appealing to anyone with information to come forward.
“We would appeal to anyone who witnessed any suspicious activity in the Shore Road area at the time of the incident, to contact police on 101 quoting reference number 292 24/05/20. Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime,” he added.
