Dickson appalled by Carnlough burglary

Alliance East Antrim MLA, Stewart Dickson, has condemned a burglary that took place in Carnlough in which a man and a teenager were tied up. Two men broke into the house on Croft Avenue at midday on Wednesday. They ransacked the house, but did not take anything.

Stewart Dickson MLA said: “I am appalled that this family were tied up in their own home. People should be able to live in their home without the fear of this type of incident taking place.

“It is shocking that there are people who would carry out such a crime. I hope that this man and teenager will be able to get over what must have been a highly traumatic experience.

“Those responsible are very dangerous individuals who must be brought to justice in the courts, so I would urge anybody with any information about this burglary to contact the Police.”
