“They called with residents to help allay their fears, watched out for suspicious activity and worked with the local PSNI to try and ensure that those engaged in these dastardly activities were apprehended and brought to justice.

The Councillor stated that it was open to all residents from the locality and she also confirmed that the PCSP and other agencies involved in crime prevention support would be present.
