Police Appeal After Burglary In North Belfast

Thieves burgled a house in north Belfast, after they watched the family leave their home in an ambulance, police believe.

The incident happened in the Silverstream Road area in north Belfast between 2pm and 11pm on Wednesday, 13 January.

Jewellery and a games console were stolen from the house.

Detective Sergeant Keith Wilson said: "What makes this incident even more despicable is that the residents were actually at the Royal Victoria Hospital during this time, having been taken there by ambulance that morning.

"They have been left understandably very upset.

"We are appealing to anyone with information that could assist our investigation to get in touch with Musgrave Reactive and Organised Crime on 101."
