MEN WITH SCARVES covering their faces tried to force a delivery driver to bring a package to a police station last night.
Detectives at Strand Road in Derry are appealing for witnesses following an incident in the Creggan area.
They said that at approximately 8pm last night the driver of a fast food delivery van was approached by two men with scarves over their faces while he was making a delivery to a house in the High Park area.
“They intimated that they wanted him to deliver a package to Strand Road Police Station,” said the police.
However, at this point the driver fled on foot and left his van in the area. His van was subsequently taken away from the area by police for forensic examination.
Police are appealing for anyone who was in the area around 8pm and saw anything relating to this incident to contact them at Strand Road on 0845 600 8000.

He’s another Bertie… Getting out in the nick of time before the shit hits the fan!!!!
I agree, the similarities are striking.
I thought It had already hit !
Apparently France is next ! ! Light the blue touch paper and stand well clear.
No, it’s Spains turn. France will have to wait ’till after Christmas.
Id love to see the look on Merkel hatchet face today….. Firstly, her smug grin in hearing Silvio is gone….then seeing it change to shock when she realises France could be worse than Portugal….. Oh, to be a fly on the wall!!!!
Will Sarkosy get his marching orders as well when France comes under pressure?
An unelected puppet , who happens to be a leading member of the Bilderberg Group, is set to be installed. No wonder IMF and markets are delighted – less of that pesky democratic election stuff to get in the way of the real business….
Considering the scale of the debt in these countries makes us look good !
Afraid not. Although Italy’s public sector debt is huge, their private sector debt (household borrowing) is exceptionally low and their budget deficit is also very manageable. Contrast with Ireland, we have high (though not yet very high) public sector debt, absolutely enormous private sector debt and a huge budget deficit.
Public sector debt is only a problem for us because it is growing as a proportion of GDP. Hard to grown GDP when private sector debt is so huge as people need to pay down their debts rather than spend. This is why it’s nonsense when Michael Noonan says he needs to get people spending again. How exactly……?
