Detailing the incident, Sergeant O’Neill from Newtownabbey PSNI said: “Some time between 7pm on January 16 and midday on January 18, entry was gained to a garage at a property on the Ballylinney Road in Ballyclare.

“A red coloured Mountfield ‘ride on’ lawnmower was taken, along with hedge cutters and a leaf blower. I am keen to get in contact with anyone who may have noticed any suspicious persons or vehicles in the area of Ballylinney Road over the last few days.”
