Police are appealing for information and witnesses following a series of attempted burglaries in the Newry area.
The PSNI said that all three incidents occurred in the Merchants Quay area of the city during the early hours of June 13.
A police spokesman said: “During the first attempt, two men believed to be in their twenties, of slim build and dressed in grey clothing and black trainers, attempted to enter a shop through the back door.
“They then moved onto a second shop in the same area and attempted to open the back door, but did not gain entry.
“Finally, the two men tried to gain access to a third commercial premises – but were not successful. We are linking all of these reports which occurred at approximately 5am.
“I would appeal to anyone who witnessed anything suspicious in the Merchants Quay area or may have information that could help with our enquiries, to get in touch with police on 101, quoting reference numbers 536, 289 and 547 of 13/06/23.”
