Police have issued a reminder to retailers, business owners and retail parks across Fermanagh to regularly check their premises for incendiary devices.

Head of Crime Prevention, Inspector David Connery explained: "At this busy time of year, we are urging all retailers to be vigilant and on the look-out for anything suspicious.

"Incendiary Devices can be left anywhere that can catch fire easily, in garments, soft furnishings and upholstery. They have the potential to destroy property and take human life. If something looks out of place, or even just raises concern, contact your local police. Never touch or attempt to move any suspicious looking objects - contact police immediately. We are also advising business owners and managers to review security measures and check premises thoroughly both during and after trading. An extra few minutes could make the difference. - Vigilance is the key," He said.

Crime Prevention Officers are visiting business and retailers with safety leaflets and posters across Northern Ireland. They are also available to give individual advice to any business. Crime Prevention Officers can be contacted by calling your local police station on 0845 600 8000.
