The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is investigating the theft of a water drinker from a farm in Newry, Co. Down.

PSNI stated that the theft occurred sometime between 5:30p.m on Thursday, May 21 and 9:30a.m on Saturday, May 23 on the Ferryhill Road near Newry.

According to PSNI, the suspect reportedly gained access to the field by "ramming the galvanised gates", with the water drinker being subsequently stolen .

Police highlighted that the drinker "is a distinctive item" due to the fact that "it has two quad tyres" attached to the bottom.

Officers have appealed for information regarding any sightings or the whereabouts of the drinker, urging the public to contact them by dialling 101.

Separately, PSNI recently attended an incident this month where a slurry tanker overturned on a roundabout in Co. Armagh.

The “damage-only road traffic collision” involved a tractor that was towing a slurry tanker on the Stonebridge roundabout on May 13, according to PSNI.

Officers at the scene stated that the slurry tanker “went on its side at the roundabout”, which links Dobbin Road and Portadown Road.

PSNI noted that “enquiries remain ongoing at this time.”

In addition to this, PSNI attended the scene of a collision involving a stolen car towing a trailer full of a livestock and a children’s school bus on Tuesday, April 28, which also took place in Co. Armagh.

Police were made aware by a member of the public that their Toyota Landcruiser, cattle trailer, and cattle had been stolen from a property in Jonesborough.

Local PSNI officers in the Slieve Gullion area “responded quickly” to the incident, with the assistance of a team from Ardmore Station.

The joint effort resulted in the stolen vehicle being located “a short time later”.

Police at the scene became aware that the Toyota Landcruiser had been involved in a road traffic collision with a children’s school bus in the Silverbridge area.

PSNI outlined that the farmer’s trailer and cattle were also located “a short distance away” from the crash.

The incident resulted in the arrest of a male suspect for a number of motoring offences.
