The thefts happened on Wednesday 7 November.

Speaking to Newry Times, Inspector Downey said, “At around 5:10pm, it was reported that a purse was stolen from a car parked at premises at the Silverbridge Road area of Silverbridge.

“A number of women were witnessed acting suspiciously in the area at the time of the incident.

“Shortly before 5:55pm, it was reported that two women are believed to have taken a black Egg Jurassic pram from business premises in the Darkley Road area, Armagh.
