Wood stolen in Waterside

A spokesperson for the PSNI said: “This is often the time of year when people will be gathering up materials for use on bonfires. While the majority of materials are lawfully acquired, some people will break into building sites to gather up wood or anything else they can burn.

A the end of the day and working week make sure extra materials are locked away in containers or safely stored elsewhere.”

Police are also asking residents who live close to ongoing building works to report any suspicious activity on site after business hours. The telephone number to ring is 0845 600 8000.

Alternatively information can be passed on anonymously through the ‘Crimestoppers’ charity on freephone 0800 555 111.
