Homes in Antrim and Carnmoney have been ransacked and jewellery stolen in burglaries which police believe are linked.
Two burglaries occurred in the Bush Manor and Oakdale Manor areas of Antrim, with a third break-in at a house on the Ballyduff Road in Carnmoney, Newtownabbey.
They happened on Saturday (April 9).
Detective Inspector Lenaghan said rear patio doors were smashed at both of the houses in Antrim and entry was gained while the occupants were out.
He said it’s believed that the burglary in the Oakdale Manor area occurred between 9am and 1.45pm and that the burglary in the Bush Manor area occurred between 10.40am and 12.50pm.
“Both the properties in Antrim, and the third in Newtownabbey, were ransacked and items of jewellery were stolen. A sum of cash was also stolen from the Ballyduff Road address, where it is believed that the burglary occurred between 1pm and 9.30pm, again while the occupants were not at home,” he said.
