Two young children were caught breaking into a house in Tulip Street just off Balsam Avenue on Wednesday last week (July 22).
Having returned from being out, the homeowners were sitting in their car in the street, having something to eat.
One of them went into the house and suddenly saw a young girl running out of the yard with speakers in her hand.
A quick-thinking neighbour who also saw what was going on, pressed her panic button to alert her security company. Security officers responded to the scene.

The homeowners quickly caught the girl, and a boy who was sitting outside keeping watch.
Police also responded to the scene and luckily all the items that were taken were recovered.
