Grehan condemns Lisburn burglaries

Alliance Lisburn South representative Amanda Grehan has condemned those responsible for two burglaries in Lisburn on Friday night, which the Police believe may be linked. A family of four were locked in a room in their house on Laurelhill Road by four masked men. Jewellery and money were taken A pensioner was then bound and locked in a room in his house on Glenavy Road by two masked men, however nothing was taken. Nobody was injured in either crime.

Amanda Grehan said: “I am disgusted by those responsible for these burglaries. It is disgraceful that a pensioner was tied up and locked in a room in his own house. People should not have to worry about this sort of thing happening in their own home.

“While I am thankful that nobody was hurt during these crimes, it must have been a very traumatic experience for those involved.

“If anybody has any information about these burglaries then I would urge them to contact the Police.”
