Woman Convicted Of Benefit Fraud

Work On Road Resurfacing Project To Start In Co Down
Work is to start on a £110,000 road improvement project in Carrowdore, Co Down.
The work on the Upper Gransha Road is scheduled to commence on Monday, 27 February.
The resurfacing scheme is expected to be substantially completed by the end of March. It will greatly improve the strength and surface quality of the carriageway on an 825-metre section of the C Class Link Road between Carrowdore and Bangor.
Diversions will be put in place and local access will be maintained.
Public Urged To Report Crime To Police
Alliance candidate for Upper Bann Tara Doyle has urged members of the public to report suspicious activity or crime to the police.
Tara Doyle said: "In recent years public support for the PSNI has grown right across Northern Ireland. That support includes passing information to the police about crime or suspicious activity.
"On Saturday, a tip off from a member of the public assisted the police to apprehend a man in Portadown, who is now facing a number of charges. Without that tip off, who knows what crimes would have gone undetected. Public vigilance can help reduce crime and lead to criminals ending up in court.
"I would encourage any member of the public who has information, or suspicions, about crime to call the PSNI on the 101 number, or 999 if an emergency. Anonymous calls can also be made to the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111."
