Local police probe handbag theft from car

Police in South Down are appealing for information following the theft of a handbag from a car.

On Sunday, 11th January, a member of the public parked their silver Volkswagen Passat car in a lay-by opposite St Louis High School to visit graves in Massforth Cemetery, Newry Road, Kilkeel, around 5pm.

The motorist was away from the car for approximately 15 minutes and, during that time, the front passenger window was smashed and a handbag stolen from the footwell. The handbag contained bank cards and a sum of cash.
