Police have described a pile of broken glass placed across a busy County Derry road last night as having the potential to be ‘extremely dangerous’
The PSNI received a report of several broken bottles on the Disert Road, Draperstown at approximately 9.50pm last night, Monday September 20.
I nearly ran the car off the road tonight because somebody thought it would be funny to empty a bucket load of glass on the Disert Road (bad bridge at Creagh pit entrance).Not only would this destroy tyres but it would cause serious harm or even death as it's on a bridge! Why ?? pic.twitter.com/Q1dCnltTj3

Inspector Patton said enquiries into the incident were underway.
“This was an extremely dangerous act as the bottles were placed on a 60mph road and on a sharp bend,” he said.
”Our partner agency, Northern Ireland Road Service also attended the scene and cleared the road.
“Our enquiries are continuing and we would ask anyone who may have noticed any suspicious activity or who may have captured dashcam footage to contact us on 101 quoting reference number 1897 of 20/09/21.”
“A report can also be submitted online using the non-emergency reporting form via http://www.psni.police.uk/ makeareport/.
“You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at http://crimestoppers-uk.org/.”
