Garda Watch: Criminal damage in Ferrybank
Ferrybank has been targeted by antisocial behaviour which has resulted in criminal damages to Neighbourhood Park and other areas.
It was a busy weekend for An Garda Síochána in Waterford City with a number of Public Order incidents, assaults and drug driving detections. While Gardaí had additional checkpoints scheduled over the weekend by the Roads Policing Unit and the regular units throughout Waterford, criminal damage cases added to the workload.
On Friday, May 31, the front window of the Post Office on Main Street, Cappoquin was smashed. From a review of CCTV, the damage occurred at approximately 7.45pm, so it was still bright. If you were in the area and observed this incident or have any information that may assist the investigation, please contact Gardaí at Tallow or Dungarvan Garda Station on 051 48600.
Gardaí are appealing to anyone that has information regarding a number of incidents of criminal damage at Neighbourhood Park, Ferrybank that have been reported over the last few weeks.
The park that opened recently has some great resources for those in the community including a playground, walk way and multi-use games area, but these have been targeted by ongoing anti-social behaviour.
Users of the park are encouraged to report any incidents as such to Waterford Garda Station on 051 305300.
An investigation is underway following the damage of two CCTV cameras belonging to Brothers of Charity, Belmont Park in Ferrybank.
The incident was reported on Tuesday, May 28, and a review is taking place of the CCTV footage before the cameras were damaged.
Gardaí are reminding people in the Ferrybank area to be vigilant as this incident of criminal activity is located in close proximity to the previously reported incidents at Neighbourhood Park, and any suspicious activity should be reported.
If you have an incident you would like to report, you can call Waterford Garda Station on 051 305300, or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.
In the event of an emergency, please call 112 or 999.
