“Break and enter of a hall and library in Glendon Street”
How can this happen? After spending who knows how much on the new library doesn’t it have a state of the art alarm system and surveillance cameras?
If it had been vandals or an arsonist just think of how much damage could have been done.
I hope the new council looks into this matter and has takes whatever measures are deemed necessary, be it new alarms/cameras, to protect these valuable community assets.
