A car wanted in connection with a recent burglary in Newtownabbey has been recovered by police in Belfast.

It is understood officers from the PSNI’s Auto Crime Team spotted the vehicle travelling into the north Belfast area yesterday evening.

Detailing the operation in a post on the PSNI North Belfast Facebook page on February 20, a police spokesperson said: “Aware that the vehicle was wanted for a burglary incident in Newtownabbey, a little over a week ago, the officers were preparing to stop it when it made off through a red light.
