Police investigating scratch card thefts from two Derry businesses

Scratch card theft spree accused in court

Police are investigating reports of scratch cards stolen from two different businesses in the city at the weekend. 

Both incidents are reported to have occurred in the Galliagh area; the first shortly before midday yesterday, Sunday 30th July, and the second just before 8.00pm last night. 

Enquiries are ongoing and, in the meantime, police are asking any other business where this may have happened but has not been reported to them as yet, to get in touch.

They also encourage business owners and staff to be vigilant, and to look out for any suspicious behaviour on their premises.  

Sergeant Irvine added: "If you see something that doesn't look right, please call us immediately because the quicker you report it, the quicker we can respond."

Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting reference 844 of 30/07/23.

A report can also be made via the non-emergency reporting form via http://www.psni.police.uk/ makeareport/ or, via Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at http://crimestoppers-uk.org/
