“The glass smashing is likely to have made a significant amount of noise at a time when the neighbouring sports field would have been busy.

“Fortunately on this occasion nothing was stolen. I am urging anybody who saw or hear anything suspicious, or has any information regarding the burglary, to contact police.”

If you were in the area at the time and have any information on the incident please report online quoting reference 924 of 28/07, police added.
