“This shameless behaviour is an insult to the memory of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in their service to give us the freedom we enjoy today.

“I hope the PSNI will be successful in their efforts to bring those responsible to justice and I would encourage anyone with any information to bring it forward to the PSNI immediately.”

A council spokesperson added: “The Mayor will re-lay another wreath at the memorial to mark his respects.

“The council will increase the presence of Community Safety Wardens in the area in an attempt to deter further anti-social behaviour.”
