A number of homes have been burglared in the Castle-Fortwilliam area over the weekend.

Three people are been questioned by police in connection to the incidents.

Police have advised people to get a free home safety check from the Belfast City Council.

The checks offer tips on all aspects of home safety, as well as specialist advice on topics like heating and energy saving. 

A room-by-room inspection usually takes around 30 minutes and advisors can:

  • show you the potential risk areas in your home
  • carry out minor repairs or modifications, free of charge
  • replace any dangerous plugs or fuses
  • arrange for safety equipment to be delivered to your home
  • refer you for a free smoke alarm installation.

They have also told local residents to use the Handyperson scheme to get a door chain installed.
