Police investigating a number of reports of shoplifting in Enniskillen have appealed for information and witnesses.

It was reported to police on Wednesday, November 29 that around £1,100 worth of clothing was stolen from retail premises in the Quay Pass area of Enniskillen.

Inspector Tate said: “Two men were reported to have entered the store separately around 2pm. One of them placed a number of items into a bag before both left in different directions.

"The first man was described as being of medium build and aged around 30-40 years old while the second was described as being of heavy build. Both men were reported to be wearing peaked caps.

"Our enquiries are ongoing and I would appeal to anyone who may be able to assist to contact us on 101, quoting reference 510 of 01/12/23. At this time, we are investigating a potential link between these reports.”

As part of Operation Season’s Greetings, there are already increased patrols in keys areas in an effort to prevent crime and reassure both shoppers and business owners.

Chief Superintendent Darrin Jones, Business crime lead for PSNI said: "We know that this is a key time of year for retailers and as a Police Service, we want to reassure businesses that we remain committed to tackling business crime and developing our established partnerships with organisations such as Retail NI, Retailers Against Crime and the Federation of Small Businesses, Northern Ireland Retail Consortium, Belfast City Centre Management and others to ensure Northern Ireland remains a safe place to do business.

"Working together, we can reduce business crime and we’re asking everyone to play their part. If you’re in a shop or in business premises, and you see something suspicious, report it to us.

"That piece of information can help us apprehend criminals, bring them before the Court and return stock to retailers where we can."
