Inspector David Anderson said: “In each case, staff arrived to open up to discover that the back door had been forced open and the premises broken into. Sums of cash and a laptop were taken during the break ins.

“I am appalled that criminals would target charity shops and an independent local business in this way. Charity shops benefit the most vulnerable in our society and are often staffed by volunteers. Likewise, independent local businesses are operating in tough times and create jobs in our communities. Breaking into and stealing from these businesses is a low act.

“If you have any information on the incidents, or if you saw suspicious activity in the Ballymoney town centre area overnight, please contact detectives on the non-emergency number 101. You can also contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
