Two men aged 26 and 27, and a 26-year-old woman have been arrested by police following a burglary at a sports and social club on the Upper Springfield Road in west Belfast.
All three remain in custody, assisting police with their enquiries. It is unclear if anything was taken from the club and the police investigation is ongoing.
Detective Sergeant Paddy Conlan said a caller reported that a number of people had forced entry to the premises at around 1.50am this morning and then left the scene in a silver car.
“Officers attended immediately, and using information provided by the reporting person, stopped a silver Peugeot 307 car. The occupants of the car, two men aged 26 and 27, and a 26 year old woman, were subsequently arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary and going equipped for theft,” he added.
And he said he wanted to thank the caller for their quick thinking and prompt actions in alerting police to this incident.
“I would also ask anyone who noticed any suspicious activity in the area at the time or who has any information which could assist us with our enquiries to contact detectives at Musgrave on 101 quoting reference number 75 15/04/19. 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.
