The damage caused to picturesque Castlerock beach by booze fuelled vandals
THIS is the damage caused to sand hills at Castlerock beach in Co Derry by booze fuelled youths.
The PSNI in Limavady say the scorched earth damaged was caused on Saturday, May 16 in the seaside village.
A police spokesperson said: “It is believed that youths set fire to the sand hills and when we attended there were empty bottles of alcohol left in the area.
“Firstly, this is dangerous behaviour.
“Fire can spread easily in this area and could result in someone being seriously injured or worse, never mind the damage caused to a beautiful part of the country.
“Police would urge parents and guardians to make sure they know where there children are, what they are doing and to talk to them about the danger of getting caught up in this type of activity and the possible outcomes they could face if they are found committing any offence.
“Young people should also know the consequences of their actions when they get involved in this type of behaviour.
“What might seem like fooling about can often result in a criminal record which can affect travel, education and employment.”
