Police in Derry are appealing for witnesses and information following a report of criminal damage to a vehicle in the Fountain Street area on Thursday, November 27.

Inspector Hughes said: “We received a report at around 7pm of a potential pre-arranged fight between a group of young males in the Carlisle Road area of the city. Officers attended and conducted patrols, however, there were no offences identified.

“Some time later, however, at around 8.30pm, we received reports of anti-social behaviour relating to a crowd of youths in the Fountain Street area.

“Officers spoke to some of the young people, who then dispersed. A report was then received that a vehicle had been damaged as a result of the anti-social behaviour, with damage caused to the front windscreen and roof.

“Our enquiries are ongoing and we would appeal to anyone who was in the area on Thursday between 8pm and 8.30pm and saw anything suspicious to contact us on the 101 number, quoting reference 1247 of 15/11/25.

“We’d also be keen to hear from anyone who might have any CCTV, dash-cam or other footage.

“You can also submit a report online using our non-emergency reporting form at www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/ or you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at http://crimestoppers-uk.org/.”
