McDonald appalled that ambulance was damaged by thieves

Mid-Ulster Alliance Representative Michael McDonald has condemned a theft incident in which drugs were stolen from an ambulance in Magherafelt early this morning, leaving the vehicle out of service until repairs could be carried out.

Michael McDonald said: “I am absolutely appalled that anyone could lower themselves to do something like this to a vehicle which is use to save lives. This is nothing short of despicable and those involved must be brought to justice.

“A break-in involving any vehicle is a disgrace, but this is a particularly vile incident, given that it involves an ambulance. I would appeal to anyone with information on this to contact police immediately to help them with their investigations.”
