Warning of retail firebomb threat
Police have issued a reminder to retailers, business owners and retail parks in Derry to regularly check their premises for incendiary devices.
Head of Crime Prevention, Inspector David Connery, explained: “At this busy time of year, we are urging all retailers to be vigilant and on the look-out for anything suspicious.
“Incendiary devices can be left anywhere that can catch fire easily, in garments, soft furnishings and upholstery. They have the potential to destroy property and take human life.
“If something looks out of place, or even just raises concern, contact your local police. Never touch or attempt to move any suspicious looking objects - contact police immediately.”
Mr Connery has also advised business owners and managers to review security measures and check premises thoroughly both during and after trading. “An extra few minutes could make the difference - vigilance is the key,” he said.
PSNI Crime Prevention Officers are visiting businesses and retailers with safety leaflets and posters.
