East Derry Assembly candidate Cara Hunter is latest politician to have election posters stolen
It is now just less than a month to go until the Assembly election on Thursday, May 5.
On Friday evening, the East Derry candidate tweeted: “I’m disappointed to learn that over 15 of my posters have come down in East Derry.
“Whatever your political beliefs it’s important to respect fairness & a fair democratic process.
“Removing an election poster is a criminal offence. If you would like to return one, message me.”
Ms Hunter’s party colleague and candidate for Strangford, Conor Houston also had more than 20 of his posters stolen in the Newtownards area near the end of last month.
The SDLP’s Charlotte Carson recently had her poster set on fire at Cyprus Avenue in east Belfast too.
Since parties have began their latest campaigns for the upcoming 2022 Assembly elections, the PSNI have received numerous reports of theft and damage of election material across the North of Ireland.
