SDLP Foyle MLA Sinead McLaughlin
Said the Foyle MLA: “I totally condemn the heinous crime that took place this weekend which will have left an elderly member of our community distressed and traumatised.
“My heart goes out to the elderly woman who was threatened at knifepoint by the cowardly men who ransacked her home and cut her phone line.
“To think of someone in their 90s being intimidated in this way is absolutely awful.
“There is no place for this behaviour and I know the whole community will be shocked by such a despicable crime taking place in our local area.
“I hope that these masked men will be swiftly brought to justice.
“I would ask anyone with information to come forward to the police and assist them with their enquiries so these men can be apprehended.”
