Detectives are appealing for information and video footage following the two incidents. Detective Sergeant Westbury from the PSNI's Criminal Investigation's branch said: "The first report was made just before 10pm on Friday, October 24, that a property in the Barley Hill area had been ransacked. “The resident had been out of the house for around three hours, returning to find entry had been gained to the property through a rear door which had been smashed. "At this time officers are working to establish what, if anything, has been taken.” The next report of a burglary on the same night was made at 10.40pm, concerning a burglary at a house in the Cherry Vale area. "The occupants returned to the property to discover that the entire property had been ransacked and a number of items of jewellery were missing,” said Det Serg Westbury. “Entry is believed to have been gained through a door which had been damaged. This is believed to have happened between 6.40pm and 10.30pm.
