The shared message from a resident states: “At 00.18 today, potential sneak in thief/housebreaker captured on house CCTV walking up our driveway in the Castlehill area.

“Hood up with one hand holding cords tight clearly to hide face. Can everyone be reminded to lock their cars/houses at night and take general security precautions especially now that the dark foggy nights have started.”
