DERRY Sinn Fein Councillor Sandra Duffy has said a robust police response is needed to deal with car criminals who are causing havoc in Galliagh and putting local lives in danger.
Councillor Duffy said: “Once again we had car criminals on the streets of Galliagh causing havoc, putting resident’s lives in danger and leaving a local person without their works vehicle.
“The stolen vehicle was driven recklessly around Galliagh before crashing into the front of the Co Op.
“These car criminals have absolutely no regard for the people of this area.
“What is needed is a robust response and what I mean by that is those responsible for striking fear into the community need taken off our streets and brought before the courts.
“The PSNI need to make this a priority before someone is killed.
“There also needs to be a cross border strategy with An Garda Síochána as these gangs are also using the back roads network between Derry and Donegal to carry out their death riding,” she added.
