Burglars have stolen alloy wheels from a car outside a Co Down business.  

The commercial premises in the Belfast Road area of Newry were targeted at around 10.45pm last night.

A number of men were reported tampering with vehicles in a yard. 

When officers arrived they found that four alloys had been removed from an Audi car. 

Sergeant Willis said: “We received a report at around 10.45pm that males were tampering with vehicles in a yard. 

“Officers attended to find four alloy wheels had been removed from an Audi.

“We are appealing to anyone with information, or who may have noticed any suspicious activity, to contact us.  Likewise, if you should be offered such items for sale, please get in touch on 101 quoting reference number 2430 of 17/04/20. 

“We’re particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have noticed a male in the area around that time.  He is described as being approximately 5’ 10” in height, of slim build, with short hair and wearing all black.”
