A STRABANE politician said he is seeking an urgent meeting with police following an upsurge in anti-social behaviour in the town including three arson attacks on Sunday.
A shop and a number of Halloween displays were damaged in a series of arson attacks on Sunday night.
Vandals set fire to a number of wooden pallets at the rear of a Poundland store at Branch Road in the town causing significant smoke damage.
In a separate incident, around the same time, two large hay sculpture displays at Bradley Way in the town were completely destroyed.
Two Wizard of Oz-inspired figures were created as part of Halloween celebrations. The Tin Man and Wicked Witch sculptures were part of Derry City and Strabane District council's Halloween Hay Sculpture Trail.
The witch and tin man had been located alongside the town's iconic 'Tinnies' sculptures, on the roundabout beside Lifford Bridge.
The incidents follow a break-in and theft at the home of Strabane centenarian, Pat Gillespie on Friday night.
West Tyrone SDLP MLA Daniel McCrossan, who attended the scene of three different arson attacks on Sunday, said anti-social behaviour had got out of control in Strabane.
“Thugs routinely vandalise and destroy local amenities and have now set their sights on businesses and civic art.
“They have targeted local businesses and Halloween displays. The display at the Tinnies in particular was set alight. Those who set out to destroy public property for absolutely no reason need to be taken under control by the PSNI.
“This comes after ...Pat Gillespie was robbed. If there’s no respect for a 101-year-old legend in the town, how can others feel safe,” he said.
Mr McCrossan said residents had been left angered and fearful, particularly since Mr Gillespie was targeted.
He said he was hoping to meet with police to discuss the issue and "to encourage a more proactive response".
