As a result of the rise in figures, Superintendent O'Connell has urged members of the public to "remain vigilant" and to report any suspicious activity immediately.

He added that majority of perpetrators who are committing such offences are "travelling criminals" therefore it is important to take down the registration of any suspicious vehicles in which members of the public may encounter.
