Flashback: Residents like this man in Ballymacool Terrace found their front doors glued last year.
A 27-year-old man was in Garda custody last night charged in connection with a spate of ‘glue attacks’ on homes and cars.
The suspect was first detained in the early hours of May 10 last year after reports of a man acting suspiciously near a car.
Gardai arrived at the scene and detained a man wearing gloves and holding a tube of Superglue.
More than 100 homes and cars had locks wrecked by glue in the Co Donegal town over a nine month period from September 2012 to May 2013.
A wide-ranging Garda investigation followed and last night a suspect was arrested and charged in relation to several glue attacks.
He remained in Garda custody overnight at Letterkenny Garda Station.
He will appear at Letterkenny District Court later today on several criminal damage charges.
It’s understood the bill for repairs which had to be carried out to homes and cars of residents – some of them pensioners – runs into several thousand euro.
