Have-a-go heroes foil burglary

TWO men were arrested after neighbours disturbed suspected burglars at a house in Co Tyrone.

One was found by a police dog as he attempted to hide.

The break-in occurred at St Mary’s Road in Omagh on Saturday evening.

At around 5.30pm it was reported that neighbours had disturbed three males after they had been observed entering a house.

One man was detained a short distance away by local people and arrested by police.

The second man was arrested a short time later after he had been found hiding by the police dog.

The two suspects are aged 23 and 36.

A silver Lexus car, VRM TEZ 8777, used by the suspects was also seized.

Detectives are appealing to anyone with any information on the incident or who observed the silver Lexus car recently to contact them on 101, quoting reference 775 12/01/19.
