‘Speed trailer’ damaged by vandals

The incident happened at the Loughgall Road, Portadown.

Speaking on Wednesday (July 1) a police spokesman said; “We have taken one of our Police educational speed trailers off the road due to vandalism. The trailer was placed on the Loughgall Road, Portadown at the request of the local community regarding speeding vehicles. We as a local Neighbourhood Policing Team are disappointed by the action of an individual/s who do not reflect the wider community in the area. We are here to help, not to be hindered in working with all of our communities.”
