Thieves who stole cables, lead castings and windows from a new housing site at Racecourse Road in the Shantallow area of Derry have been condemned by Tony Hassan, Sinn Fein councillor for the area.
Cables from street lights were also taken sometime between Monday night and early Tuesday morning last.
Hitting out at those responsible, Cllr Hassan said as a result of the thefts several families could be delayed from moving into their new homes at Bradley’s Pass.
He said: “There is a massive waiting list for new homes yet some people are determined to hold up this development by stealing street lighting cables, windows and lead castings in order to make a few pound.
“Several families could now be delayed from moving into their new homes if these thefts continues causing hardship to those families.
“These people are anti community and anyone who knows who is involved in these thefts should inform the PSNI immediately.”
Cllr Hassan concluded: “I would also appeal to people driving past this development to report any suspicious activity to the PSNI.”
