In a public appeal issued at 7.30pm, police advised residents not to pick up any unknown individuals by car in the Roodt-sur-Syre area. Anyone spotting suspicious persons was asked to report this to 113.
At the time, police said they were searching for one or more individuals following a reported break-in.
By 10.48pm, however, police confirmed upon request that the search operation had since been called off, without the suspected burglars being apprehended.
Further details have not yet been provided, but the investigation is ongoing.
