Independent Councillor Gary Donnelly said there had been a lot of “rallying around” the Creggan area on Sunday night into Monday morning.

“These people need to catch themselves on,” he said. “They are showing a complete disregard for other road users and other people’s property.
“For someone to wake up on a Monday morning and see this amount of damage to their vehicle, it’s wrong.”
