Police warning to ‘boy racers’

So-called “boy racers” have been warned of the consequences of what Derry police have described as “bad driving standards.”

The warning comes after reports received by police in Magherafelt of “boy racers” in and around the Toome area.

A police spokesperson said: “We understand the detrimental effect this behaviour has on others and have, in the past, carried out proactive operations in the area, resulting in prosecutions and cars being taken off the road.

“Our message to these ‘boy racers’ is that bad driving standards will not be tolerated.

“They should realise that if they are taken to court, their licences may be at risk and the loss of a licence could impact on their entire futures.”
