'Substantial damage' caused to construction machinery in Ramelton

Gardaí are investigating a criminal damage incident that occurred at a building site in Tiroddy, Ramelton, on Sunday, May 7, at approximately 2pm.

Two people - a male and a female - entered the site as trespassers and while there they interfered with some of the construction machinery resulting in substantial damage being caused. A roller had been driven around and then abandoned in a drain, an excavator windscreen was damaged and a portaloo was also damaged.
