SINN Féin Policing Board member Raymond McCartney, Cllr Sandra Duffy and community representatives have held a meeting with senior members of PSNI in Derry.
The meeting focused on car crime, burglaries and anti-community behaviour in the greater Galliagh and Shantallow areas.
Foyle MLA Raymond McCartney said “It was very important that this meeting took place as there is a lot of concern out in the community in relation to a number of crimes taking place in the locality.
“The meeting focused on car crime, burglary and anti-community behaviour.
“We were reassured that there has been progress on several of the issues that we raised and that there have been a number of arrests.
“It was accepted that there is still a number of challenges to be overcome to ensure that residents can live in safety.
“We will keep our engagements with the PSNI going and support their efforts in tackling criminality.”
