“A black Honda Civic and a blue Mini Countryman were also reported stolen from an address in the Hydepark Road area of Newtownabbey. The Mini was later recovered in Forfar Street and the Honda Civic in the Clonard Heights area of west Belfast.

“A grey Audi A3 and a blue Skoda Octavia were also stolen from outside two houses close to the Waringfield Avenue area of Moira. These two vehicles are still missing and we are keen to recover them as soon as possible. We believe they could be in the greater Belfast area.”

D/I Mullan added: “We are asking members of the public who have seen or see any suspicious activity involving these cars or know where they might be, to give police a call on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference 106 of 7/6/17.
