Window smashed and Remembrance Day crosses damaged at church in Lurgan

Damage was caused to a number of wooden Remembrance Day crosses at a church in Lurgan in what police are treating as a hate crime.

A brick was thrown through the window sometime between midday on Tuesday and 1pm on Wednesday afternoon at First Lurgan Presbyterian Church in High Street.


Chief Inspector Jon Burrows said police are treating this as a hate crime and an investigation is underway.

“I would appeal to anyone with any information or any drivers who were passing First Lurgan Presbyterian Church and who may have captured footage on dashcam that may be of assistance to our investigation, to contact officers in Lurgan on 101 quoting reference number 687 12/12/18.

Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime,” he added.
