Derry/Londonderry Sinn Féin Councillor, Sandra Duffy has said that a small group of young people involved in a catalogue of anti-community activity this week cannot hold the entire community to ransom.
She's told Q Radio that residents are extremely fed up and concerned, while homes are being attacked, as well as Translink buses and emergency services:
Councillor Duffy also explained that the young people involved are very young, around the ages of 10 and 11.
She says it's extremely concerning, therefore elected representatives, residents and community groups will now be turning to their statutory partners for help.
That includes the PSNI, the Housing Executive and Social Services.
The Councillor is reaching out to parents to speak to their young children and explain to them, the dangers they are bringing to the community:
Teenager killed and child left in critical condition after Belfast road crash
Stormont leaders and chief constable in show of unity against station attack
Firefighters continue to battle ‘soul‑destroying’ wildfires in Mourne Mountains
Political leaders unite to condemn ‘cowardly’ attack on PSNI station
