One car was found later burnt out as a result of arson.
Police are appealing for information and witnesses after two cars were stolen in the Carryduff area overnight.
A police spokesperson said: “Police received a report shortly before 2.25 on Sunday morning, that a white Kia Picanto and black Toyota Auris were stolen from outside a house on the Saintfield Road.
“The suspects entered the property and gained access to keys for both of the vehicles – at this time we believe nothing else was stolen from inside the house.
