The damage involved wing mirrors being kicked off and damage caused to paint work

Sinn Féin MLA, Pádraig Delargy, commented on the news that several cars have been damaged in the Beechwood Avenue area of the city.

“It involved wing mirrors being kicked off and damage caused to paint work. Replacing a wing mirror on a car nowadays can cost over £100 never mind the cost of repairing damaged paint work.

“I would appeal to anyone who has any information on those responsible to bring it forward."
