A warning has been issued after life saving water safety equipment was damaged in Strabane.
Over the weekend, throw-lines were vandalised and thrown into the water at Strabane Canal.
The Derry & Strabane Policing and Community Safety Partnership is reminding people of the potentially fatal consequences of misusing life-saving equipment at waterways across the district.
Chair of Derry & Strabane PCSP, Councillor Sandra Duffy, says causing damage to such an important piece of equipment is unacceptable and shows a total disregard for the safety of the local community.
