“We have passed this information to the PSNI team in Lurgan for investigation and asked for regular patrols to be carried out at this location”.
Cllr Mc Alinden added: “I will be ensuring that this area is properly secured and cleaned up.
“This is a very remote place and isn’t safe for anyone during the day never mind in the darkness at night.”
If anyone notices any suspicious activity in this area, please contact PSNI on 101.
