A burnt out car has been found on the outskirts of Creggan this morning.
Sinn Fein's Colly Kelly said whoever left it was intent on causing 'destruction and torture' to the local community.
He said: "The message needs to go out clearly that this area is not a dumping ground for abandoned cars or a place to burn cars. Sadly once again someone is left with the cost of replacing a car.
"Those people causing this destruction and torture to our community need to stop. I have reported this to City Council and hope this vehicle will be lifted as soon as possible.
"If anyone has any information on who is responsible for car crime in our city I would encourage them to bring it forward to the relevant authorities."
