A memorial to British soldiers killed in an IRA ambush in 1979 has been vandalised again.
Poppy Wreaths at Narrow Water, outside Warrenpoint, were ripped up and strewn across the ground.
It's believed to have happened sometime between 4pm on Saturday and 12.30pm on Sunday.
The memorial commemorates 18 Parachute Regiment troops who were killed there.
It was attacked several times last year.
Police say they are treating the incident as a hate crime and are urging anyone who witnessed what happened to get in touch.
Meanwhile, local Councillor David Taylor has described the incident as "despicable" and says "enough is enough".
Councillor Taylor says the families of the 18 murdered soldiers have already "endured enough heart ache" and shouldn't have to go through any more pain.
He's calling on all local political representatives to do what they can, to ensure the attacks don't take place again.
Yet again poppy wreaths and crosses placed at Narrow Water have been desecrated. Another disgusting attack on this memorial dedicated to the 18 soldiers murdered by the IRA at this location almost 40 years ago. Enough is enough, these attacks must stop!! @uuponline pic.twitter.com/sJawHCzbqT
