"If you were in the Wicklow Drive area between these times and you perhaps witnessed these incidents or noticed someone paying particular attention to vehicles, please get in touch.  

"Activity which may have seemed insignificant to you at the time could now prove to be very important so please get in touch if you saw or heard anything.

"We are also encouraging anyone whose vehicle was damaged in the same way that night who has not yet reported the matter to the police to do so as soon as possible.”
