Sinn Féin Councillor Sandra Duffy has appealed for residents in the Oakbridge and Sandbank area of the city to be extra vigilant after a recent crime spree in the area.
Sinn Fein’s Sandra Duffy.
Cllr Duffy said, “I am are aware of a number of incidents of car crime and burglaries in the Oakbridge and Sandbank Park area over the past few days.
“And I would appeal to residents to be extra vigilant following more incidents this week.
“I would advise all residents to ensure that their doors and windows are closed and locked at night and when people are out during the day.
“I would also advise that as cars and their contents are being targeted, people should ensure they are not leaving valuables in their cars or where perspective thieves will see them.
“It is very upsetting to find that you have been a victim of crime, therefore I would advise everyone to be aware of their own security to ensure they minimise the risk to themselves.
Sinn Féin met with the PSNI in January of last year regarding a similar spate of burglaries in the locality.
“We will be once again seeking assurances that this is an issue of high priority in the area.
