Police Appeal After Nails 'Maliciously' Placed On Road in Newry

Police are appealing for information after nails have been placed on a road in the Ardfreelin area in Newry, damaging a number of cars.

They believe the nails were placed maliciously on the road in Ardfreelin.

A statement, released on PSNI Newry & Mourne's Facebook page, said: "The nails are stud wall type with large heads so they can be placed pointing upwards.

"Not only are vehicles being damaged but it is only a matter of time before a child or resident is injured."

Police are appealing to anyone with information to contact them.
