Park and Ride: Police appeal to Newry motorists to remove valuables from vehicles

car theftPolice in Newry, Mourne and Down are appealing for those who use park and ride facilities or similar communal parking areas to make sure all valuables are removed before leaving their vehicles.

Speaking to Newry Times, Superintendent Paul Reid explained, “In recent weeks we have seen increased reports of thefts from vehicles at these parking facilities and while we are investigating those incidents and putting in place extra patrols we are also asking drivers to take some personal responsibility.
