An investigation is underway after a public bench was pulled from its location and dragged through a town in Donegal.
The unusual incident occurred in Carndonagh in the early hours of Saturday morning (between 4.30am-5.30am).
A bench was wrenched from the ground and dragged around the Diamond before it was dumped in front of a local business premises. Significant damage was caused in the incident and Donegal County Council staff were called to clear the debris that was strewn around the town centre.
