CHURCHILL COMMUNITY TO HOST MEETING IN WAKE OF BURGLARIES

A meeting of concerned residents is to take place in Churchill tomorrow night (WED) following the recent spate of burglaries across the county.

While the area has escaped the worst of the break-ins, locals are anxious to set up a text-alert scheme.

The meeting, which will take place in McClafferty’s Bar at 9pm, will be addressed by Crime Prevention Officer, Sgt Paul Wallace.

People from the Glenswilly, Gartan, Churchill and Trentagh areas are encouraged to attend.

Organiser Charlie McClafferty said “We are anxious to be pro-active and not reactive to these crimes.

“We want to set up a system whereby if there is a burglary then we can react quickly to it and alert the relevant people to it,” he said.
