Derry metal thieves hit street lights
Derry City Council has said it will cost £30,000 to replace electrical cables which have been stripped from street lights in the city.
Lighting at pathways running alongside playing pitches at Prehen has been extensively damaged in recent weeks.
Thieves have also stolen lights from a pedestrian and cycle network between Templemore Sports Complex and Sandbank Cottages.
The council has switched off the remaining lights to carry out repairs.
BBC Newsline's north west reporter Keiron Tourish reports.
