POLICE say officers have arrested two males following a report of an attempted burglary.
A spokesperson said that at around 10.30 am on Sunday morning two males were disturbed by a woman in her 60s, as they attempted to break into her home in the Ballymagroarty area of the city.
The males made off on foot and were detained a short distance away by police.
Both men remain in custody and detectives from CID and the Reducing Offending Unit are investigating a possible link between this incident and other similar reports in the area.
“Police would like to thank the members of the public who called this in.
“If you think you saw anything or know anything that could help our investigation, please call us on 101 quoting reference number 543 of 14/10/18.
“Or if you would prefer to provide information without giving their details you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers and speak to them anonymously on 0800 555 111,” added the police spokesperson.
