Separately, a 40-year-old man was arrested in east Belfast following an attempted burglary in the early hours of this morning.
Sergeant Todd said: “We received a report at around 2.25am, where a resident had disturbed a man attempting to burgle their property in the Burghley Mews area.
“The caller had heard a loud noise outside the property and gone downstairs, where they saw a man reaching his arm through an open window and taking a gold-coloured knife from the windowsill. The suspect then used the knife to try and gain access to the property through the front door.
“Officers arrived at the scene a few minutes after the resident’s call and were given a description of the man. He was subsequently located nearby, with the knife seized by police.
“The man was arrested on suspicion of burglary and possessing an offensive weapon in a public place. He remains in police custody at this time.”
