Businesses And Halloween Displays Set On Fire In Strabane
SDLP West Tyrone MLA Daniel McCrossan is seeking an urgent meeting with the PSNI after a spate of anti-social behaviour incidents in Strabane.
Businesses and Halloween displays were set on fire on Sunday night, 29 October.
He said: "Anti-social behaviour in Strabane is now out of control. Thugs routinely vandalise and destroy local amenities and have now set their sights on businesses and civic art.
"There were three separate fires in the town at one time. They have targeted local businesses and Halloween displays. The display at ‘The Tinneys’ in particular was set alight. Those who set out to destroy public property for absolutely no reason need to be taken under control by the PSNI.
"This comes after local hero Pat Gillespie was robbed. If there’s no respect for a 101-year old legend in the town, how can others feel safe?
"Local people are furious and many feel vulnerable.
"I am now seeking an urgent meeting with the PSNI to find out exactly what they're doing to tackle this issue and to encourage a more proactive response."
