Police in Portrush say street furniture bins have been set alight in the latest in a string of incidents in the town.

The three bins were set on fire sometime between 9.30am on Saturday 3rd and 10am on Sunday 4th September.

Constable John Hunter said:

“This is an ongoing issue as there have been a number of bins set on fire in the area in recent weeks. I would ask anyone involved in this activity to stop and think – these are council bins and therefore any damage is paid for by the taxpayer.

“I would ask anyone with any information about the incidents to contact Coleraine Police Station on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 511 of 04/09/16. Or if someone would prefer to provide information without giving their details, they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers and speak to them anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
