The Deputy Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council has condemned ‘totally unacceptable vandalism’ to the car of a woman living in Clooney.
UUP Councillor Darren Guy took to Facebook to criticise the sectarian actions taken by individuals on the woman living in that area of Derry.
He said: “A lady who has lived in Clooney all her life has woken up to totally unacceptable vandalism to her vehicle, which she requires to care for people in our community.
“It is believed to have happened around 1am on Sunday morning. If anyone has witnessed this despicable act, please contact the PSNI on 101.”
A spokesperson from the PSNI said: “Police in Derry/Londonderry received a report shortly after 8am on Sunday 16 February that criminal damage had been caused to a vehicle parked in the Waterside.
“This is being treated as a sectarian hate crime.
“While the damage was observed in Bann Drive, enquiries are ongoing to establish exactly where and when this occurred, and police appeal to anyone with information to call 101, quoting reference 413 of 16/02/25 or, submit a report online via www.psni.police.uk/makeareport.”
