Businesses in Belfast are increasingly worried about safety following a series of break-ins, including incidents at Simply Fish & Chip and Juko cafe. The break-ins occurred just days before the city is set to host the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann festival, raising concerns about the impact on local trade and tourism.
The owner of Simply Fish & Chip reported significant losses due to the timing of the break-in, which coincided with a busy Pride day. Local authorities are investigating the incidents, and police have urged anyone with information to come forward.
