Officers from the Coleraine Neighbourhood Policing Team stopped and searched a suspicious male carrying a red Santa sack in the Town Centre today.
As a result of this, a large quantity of goods were recovered and a follow up search of his home address revealed over £1,000 of suspected stolen goods.
A note to all those children aged nine months to 99 years who may be a little worried: this was not the REAL Santa Claus.
