A stolen dumper truck has been used to rampage through a number of streets in Derry. 

It was taken from Skeoge Industrial estate around 8.30 last night and was later used to damage lamposts and street furniture.

Police say two young men were seen driving it through housing estates, including Ederowen Park, Glendale Park and Rossnagalliagh.

Inspector Ray Wilson said: “At approximately 8:25pm it was reported that two male youths were seen driving a dumper truck in the vicinity of the Skeoge Road.

 

"The two males were seen driving the vehicle through local housing estates, including Ederowen Park, Glendale Park and Rossnagalliagh and damage had been caused to lampposts and other street furniture.

 

“The truck, believed to have been stolen from a nearby building site, was later recovered."
