An MP living in a burglary hotspot is calling for a meeting with police after “shocking” figures for break-ins emerged.
Newry and Armagh Sinn Féin representative Mickey Brady warned that house-breakers are becoming “bolder”, adding that people need to be vigilant at all times.
Statistics revealed in a freedom of information request to the PSNI list 369 burglaries in the policing district of Newry, Mourne and Down in the last year. However investigations have led to only 46 convictions, police say.
