Derry police investigating creeper-style burglary and vehicle fire

Police in Derry are investigating a vehicle fire and a creeper-style burglary, both of which occurred in the city overnight. 

A vehicle on fire in a field in the Rossnagalliagh area was reported to police shortly before 3am this morning, Monday 12th June. The blaze has completely destroyed the vehicle, and has been ruled as deliberate ignition by the NIFRS. 

A creeper-style burglary in the Talbot Park area was also reported this morning, during which keys to a black Vauxhall were stolen. The vehicle was also reported stolen.

A line of enquiry is both incidents are linked, and the vehicle taken during the burglary is the same vehicle reported on fire.

Anyone who captured the movements of the black Vauxhall between Culmore Road and Rossnagalliagh between 11pm yesterday and 3am today is asked to call 101, reference 313 of 12/06/23.
