PSNI Appeal Following South Belfast Burglary

PSNI detectives have issued an appeal for information and witnesses following a burglary in south Belfast.

Shortly after 6am on Monday, 8th January, it was reported to police that a break-in had occurred at a house in the Jerusalem Street area.

Believed to have occurred just a short time before it was reported, it was reported a man dressed all in black, aged between 20-30 years old, and approximately 5ft 9 inches tall, had entered the property and stole a brown leather wallet.

No one was inside the house at the time and police believe nothing else was taken. The man left on foot in the direction of Rugby Avenue.

Police said: "Our investigation is ongoing - with enquiries continuing. We would appeal to anyone with any information including dash-cam, mobile or CCTV footage of the area, or who may have witnessed suspicious activity between 5.30am and 6am on Monday, 8th January to contact us on 101, quoting reference number 167 08/01/24.
