A Co Armagh photographer and designer has lost in the region of £10,000 worth of equipment in an opportunistic theft.
Kieran McAlinden, had parked on the Eastway in Lurgan when he was targeted.
While his back was turned, the equipment was taken from the book of his car.
The PSNI have made an urgent appeal for information to anyone in the industry who can help – who may be offered items for sale – to come forward.
“His contribution in the arts world to the local community therefore makes the theft of around £10,000 worth of his kit today all the more abhorrent,” the PSNI in Craigavon said.
The theft happened between 12.20pm and 1pm on Wednesday.
The PSNI, appealing via social media, adde: “All of those in the photography world, please share this round your friends and groups incase they see it being sold on the cheap anywhere:
“It is as follows-
