A CO Tyrone war memorial has been targeted by vandals again following a recent series of attacks at the site.

The memorial in the village of Moy was attacked on Sunday evening. The incident follows vandalism earlier this month, following which three people were charged with criminal damage and other offences. It was also targeted in May.

The PSNI confirmed it received a report of criminal damage in relation to Sunday's incident, and a spokesperson said: "Our investigation is at an early stage and we would appeal to anyone who witnessed this incident to contact police on 101."

Fermanagh and South Tyrone DUP MLA Deborah Erskine warned wreaths at the site were being "destroyed on a regular basis", stating: "I am dismayed that criminal damage has been allowed to continue in the community, without strong cross-party condemnation."

She added: "It is long past the time, for everyone, across the community to stand up and say – no more."
