Police are investigating recent reports of an attempted burglary and burglary in Portadown.
Sergeant Bigger said: “On Friday, 4th October at approximately 8pm the occupant of a house in the Ashbrook area reported hearing three loud bangs from the rear of her property.
“She discovered a window in a rear spare bedroom had been opened and damaged.
“Entry was not gained to the property and nothing was taken. We believe the suspect may have been scared off by a barking dog.
