There is further concern and anger in Lifford this afternoon following a double break-in at two local businesses overnight.
Blush Beauty saloon and local Chinese restaurant Peking House are the latest premises to be targeted by thieves in the last several weeks.
Gardai say they are investigating the two incidents at the two retail premises in the Bridge Street area of Lifford.
The front window of each of the premises were smashed during in the early hours of Friday morning.
It follows four home daylight burglaries in Lifford and Manorcunningham earlier this month, where thieves caused significant damage as they forced their way into the homes through the back doors and trashed rooms.
Condemning the attacks on the local community, Sinn Féin Cllr Gary Doherty appealed for the attackers to think again before causing further disruption.
“There is a lot of anger in the community because along with these two break-ins last night there have been a number of house robberies in recent weeks,” he said.
“People are very frustrated and angry that this is happening in their community and the people of Lifford have a feeling that these are people within their own community who are carrying out these attacks.
“I would appeal to those people to think twice and think about the hurt that they are causing to their neighbours and the wider community in the town,” Doherty added.
“Regardless of their motive, people are feeling very unsafe in their own homes and businesses and that has to stop.”
