Men arrested in Londonderry after 'suspicious activity' at Castlederg school
Two men have been arrested in Londonderry after what the police said was ‘suspicious activity’ at a Castlederg school last month.
The pair, one aged 63 and the other 50, were nabbed this morning by detectives probing a burglary in a village near Omagh as well as the Castlederg school incident.
A PSNI spokesperson said the men were arrested on suspicion of burglary and of fraud by false representation. As of early afternoon today, both were still in police custody.
According to the spokesperson, the burglary and school incident both took place on June 11 this year.
The burglary was reported at a property on Main Street in Drumquin, which lies in the Co Tyrone countryside between Omagh and Castlederg.
On the same day, the spokesperson said, there were reports of men “acting suspiciously around a number of businesses and a school in the Castlederg area”.
Added the spokesperson: “Enquiries are ongoing.”
