The would-be burglar was chased off by the householder
AN intruder gained access to a house on the Ennis Road after he broke a glass panel on the front door and grabbed the keys from inside.
The owner of the house was asleep in bed when he heard a noise downstairs.
“He went to check and discovered a male in his hallway, the male ran off but not before he caused some damage to property,” said Sgt Ber Leetch
“The home owner then realised that a small pane of glass had been smashed in his front door and his door keys, which had been left in the lock had been removed and then used by the thief to get into the house,” she added.
