PSNI warning after Belfast burglary

Police in the North are urging homeowners to be vigilant after a 'distraction burglary' in Belfast.

Three men called to a house in the Lansdowne Park area yesterday morning and told the man inside that his water supply needed to be checked.

But it was a ruse and once the men gained access to the house, they stole a sum of cash from the man's wallet before escaping.

Police are appealing anyone with information to come forward - and are reminding the public to always ask for identification.
