POLICE in Derry are appealing for information following criminal damage to Kilfennan Valley Park.
Three trees and a lamp post were damaged by vandals at the weekend who came armed with a saw which was recovered at the scene.
Derry City and Strabane District Council have described the incident as “disgraceful destruction”.
Police Derry City and Strabane say on its Facebook page: “On 7th June 2020 damage was reported to 3 trees in Kilfennnan Country Park close to the play park at Nelson Drive.
“A lamp post nearby was also damaged.
“This walking park is for use by everyone in our community and the damage caused is nothing but mindless vandalism.
“It is obvious from the saw found nearby that those responsible set out with the intention to cause damage.
“Damage caused to the lamp post has left it in a potentially dangerous condition putting those who use the park at risk.
“If you saw anything in the area of the walking park on 7th June, can identify any of the culprits or recognise the saw used please contact us on 101 and quote 1198, 7th June 2020.
