PSNI PROBE DERRY LINK AFTER THIEVES STEAL €400,000 FIRE ENGINE

THE PSNI in Derry are helping Gardai after thieves stole a fire engine in Co Donegal and then went for a ‘joyride’ in the six figure vehicle with its blues lights and sirens on.

The Scania truck, worth more than €400,000 (£340,000) , was stolen on Sunday night in the small town of Stranorlar on the east of the county.

It was later recovered close to the border with Derry at Killygordon

The Scania fire truck, which has only been in service for a year, was returned to the station for a technical examination.

Gardai are fuming that someone could steal a vital piece of equipment for the local community and then go driving along the border in it without care or thought for other road users.

Inspector Goretti Sheridan said vital equipment was missing from the fire engine.

“These people might have thought this was funny but it could have been a much more serious incident had there have been a fire overnight,” she said.

Gardaí have appealed to anyone in possession of CCTV footage that may show the incident to contact them.

The PSNI in Derry are also investigating the possibility that the fire engine may have been driven across the border.

Anyone with information about the movements of the fire engine near the Derry/Donegal border on Sunday night is asked to ring police at Strand Road on the 101 number.
