Officers subsequently detained three suspects in the Kincora area and also seized two vehicles believed to have been used in crime.

The men are being questioned in relation to a number of offences including aggravated burglary, theft and assault on police.

Detective Inspector Bob Blemmings has appealed for information.

He said: “I would ask that people check their properties and report anything out of the ordinary. Detectives can be contacted by calling 101.

“Alternatively information can also be provided to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime”.
