Imitation gun and drugs: Arrests
Superintendent Mark McEwan said: “Police were in the area carrying out searches to remove drugs from the streets when they were attacked by youths.
“The windscreen of a police Land Rover was damaged and paint bombs thrown at police vehicles as officers then dealt with a number of incidents of anti-social behaviour and criminal damage in the Galliagh area. We are also investigating a report that a number of windows at a nearby primary school were broken.”
