Vandals’ spree costs €30,000

THUGS who broke into a building site and hot-wired dumper trucks and used them to ram portacabins have caused up to €30,000 worth of damage.

The construction company working on a new building at Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) is looking for witnesses to a burglary at the site on Monday morning.

Brian McCarthy Contractors Ltd, the Ennis-based company building an 82,000-sqft Languages, Sports and Tourism/Hospitality building at WIT’s Cork Road campus, is conscious that someone travelling along the busy road must have seen something.
