A digital camera and jewellery were also stolen.

POLICE IN ANTRIM have issued a public appeal following a burglary at a house in Newtownabbey a fortnight ago.

During the raid, which occurred some time between 6pm on Friday, 28 February and 2am on Saturday 1 March, a number of artworks were stolen from a home on Sharonmore Avenue.

The paintings included work by Belfast artist Markey Robinson, whose pieces sell for thousands of euro.
