THE van this evening
THERE is anger in Creggan tonight after an NI worker was attacked and his van burned out.
“What happened to this worker in Creggan tonight is absolutely disgraceful. I visited the scene and local residents are very angry about what has gone here,” said Cllr Kevin Campbell..
An NIE worker was in the Linsfort Drive area carrying out essential repairs when he was approached by a number of masked men.
He was threatened and told to take a suspect device to Strand Road PSNI station.
The worker fled the scene and the van was set on fire a short time later.
“People in Rinmore Drive are now without electric and understandably NIE have said they will not be back out tonight again,” said Cllr Campbell.
“The people behind this attack need to step forward and explain the rational behind it to this community,” he added.
