Burglary Warning - Rafferty

Published: 11 June, 2009

Local Sinn Féin representative Councillor Cathy Rafferty warned today of the dangers of burglary in the Armagh area, Cathy said "I have been informed of a number of burglaries in Armagh City and in particular in the Monaghan road, Greenpark and Umgola areas. I urge residents throughout the city and district to be vigilant and to pay particular attention to any unknown vehicles which they may see."

"If you know of a neighbour on holidays also keep a watch on their property, if you are going on holiday let your neighbours know and don't forget to cancel the delivery of papers and milk to your home. A little bit of thinking ahead can save a lot of anguish on your return. Follow the home security advice of always locking your windows and doors, even if only leaving the house for a short time, and remember that an open window at night while providing cool air is also an invitation to the burglar."
