POLICE were called to Holly Street in Parkhall last week to deal with a report of two men allegedly in the back gardens of homes.

Residents reported two men acting suspiciously and trying car doors at around 4.15pm on Thursday, July 12.

Officers later found two men in the rear of a garden in Briar Drive.

Both were arrested and were due to appear in court charged with being found in the area where it could be inferred they intended to commit theft.
