Two men arrested in Derry on burglary and fraud charges
Detectives conduct city-side property searches as part of an ongoing investigation over Omagh burglary and Castlederg suspicious activity
PSNI Detectives investigating a report of a burglary in Omagh, and of suspicious activity in Castlederg earlier this year, have made two arrests in Derry.
The arrests took place on Tuesday morning (July 28, 2026).
A PSNI spokesperson said: “Two men, aged 50 and 63 years old, were both arrested on suspicion of burglary and of fraud by false representation, and they both remain in custody at this time.
“Today's police operation, which also included searches at two addresses in the city-side, forms part of an investigation into a burglary reported at a property on Main Street in Drumquin on June 11 this year, and of a number of men acting suspiciously that same day around a number of businesses and a school in the Castlederg area.”
Both men have since been released on bail to allow for further police enquiries to be conducted.
