Garda appeal after elderly person's house is pelted with eggs

Eggs thrown at elderly person's home

Gardaí are investigating the circumstances surrounding an incident of criminal damage to an elderly person's home which was pelted with eggs. The Crime Prevention Officer for Donegal, Sergeant Paul Wallace said the incident can be very disconcerting for older people but that an incident, such as this, happens every now and then. 

The incident occurred in the Cloontagh area of Clonmany, Inishowen.

It has now also been reported that two playhouses at Cloontagh National School were damaged overnight.

"So there is something going on there," he said. 

 

Sergeant  Wallace said it would appear that youths have been using the area for hanging around and drinking in.

He appealed to anybody with any information to contact Buncrana Garda station 074 93 20540.
