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 June 12.
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 spokesperson for Police said, “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.
“A report can also be made using the online reporting form via www.psni.police.uk/makeareport. Alternatively, information can be provided to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk”
