A family have been left
distraught after their child came into contact with a syringe believed to have
been used for injecting drugs.
As a result, Patrick
Leonard, Strabane SDLP election candidate, has called on parents to advise
their children to be “extra vigilant.”
The incident occurred last
night between the grounds of Melmount Church and St Mary’s School.
Mr Leonard said: “While out
canvassing I was approached about a situation earlier in which a young girl had
fallen onto a used syringe.
“The family of this child
are distraught over this and fear for the safety of other children.”
Mr Leonard concluded: “As a
concerned parent myself, my thoughts are with the family and I ask that if you
come across anything like this please be advised not to touch them and report
it to the police.”
