Graffiti in the Bogside area of the city.
Threatening graffiti aimed at drug dealers in Derry has appeared overnight in the Bogside and Creggan areas of the city.
It warns that 'NO DEALER IS SAFE' and 'DEATH DEALERS WON'T BE PROTECTED' and is signed off by the IRA.
Other graffiti written on the shutters of Creggan shops says, 'DEALERS WRECK LIVES' and 'WE WRECK DEALERS LIVES'.
It is scrawled close to the alleyway where two men were shot at the weekend.
On Saturday evening it was reported to police at 6:35pm that two men were found with gunshot wounds to their legs in an alleyway in Rinmore Drive, in the vicinity of Creggan shops.
A 48-year-old man was shot twice in the leg, in his thigh and shin.
A 31-year-old man was shot in his thigh.
The Ambulance Service and police attended the scene and both men were taken to hospital.
Detective Inspector Michelle Boyd said: "Our officers are continuing with their enquiries into these savage attacks, which we believe were carried out by dissident republicans.
"The fact the victims were shot in a residential area at a time when people would have been out and about shows just how reckless those responsible are, and how they have no regard whatsoever for life.
"Last night's double shooting brings the number of shootings in our city to four since the start of the year. They are simply unacceptable and there can never be any justification for them.
"Carrying out attacks like this during a global health pandemic is particularly repugnant. We know the majority of people are working hard to keep their community safe and to protect the NHS, yet these violent criminals are endangering lives and increasing pressures on our emergency services and frontline workers.
"I am appealing to the public to help us remove these violent criminals from our community by bringing any information they have to us.
“In particular, we want to hear from anyone who was in the area at around 6:30pm and saw what happened to call our detectives at Strand Road on 101, quoting reference number 1559 of 06/02/21."
