Another Waterford club has been hit by an arson attack in Ballybeg.Gardai were on patrol in the Ardmore Park Area at 3.10am this morning when they heard an alarm.They saw smoke coming from the St. Saviours Boxing Club and called the Waterford City Fire Service.The fire which is being treated as suspicious by gardai did not get a chance to take hold however a lot of smoke damage was caused to the premises.It was a busy evening and night for Gardai and fire services in Waterford. At 6pm yesterday evening four units of the Waterford City Fire Service attendned a fire at 99, Ardmore Park, Ballybeg, Waterford.Significant damage was caused. This was the second time in over a week this house has been set on fire . Nobody was in the house at the time. Fire was extinguished and scene examined. Last night between 10.30 and 11.30pm Gardai received a report of an alarm activation at The Kilbarry Sports Centre. Gardai were in the vicinity and went immediately to scene. The Exit doors had been prised open, internal doors and the office was damaged, and CCTV cameras ripped off the walls. At 5.20am this morning a vehicle parked in a driveway at Johns Hill in Waterford City was gutted by fire. Gardai discovered that the lock in the front door had been glued.Between midnight and 1am this morning a consaw was taken from a vehicle parked in Ballybeg Square.Any information to the Gardai in Waterford on 051-305300.

I think there may be someone with a big problem. A car belonging to someone I know was burnt out on John's Hill at about 5 AM this morning. I have heard (unconfirmed) reports this wasn't the only fire last night.

Edit: just seen Crazyman's post. Crazyman? How strangely appropriate. Is it you????

They put "Glue" in the Lock so the owner could not open the door of the car????

That sounds very premeditated and points to someone having a grudge or wanting revenge etc.

The car belonged to a widow who must be in her late 70's or early 80's I'd say. it's more likely a pyromaniac / common or garden psycho with a serious anti-social streak.

These acts of vandalism are attacks on the entire community. People need to stand up to these scumbags.

I read in one of the Sunday newspapers that no charges are to be brought against the man questioned about the petrol bombing of a house in Ballybeg last October.

How can we protest against the little tramps when we don't even know who they are?

The cops know who they are for sure. Legal system leaving us down unfortunately. Three strikes and your out like the states is only way to get scumbags off the streets.

Apparently, there is a video (CCTV) which shows that he was somewhere else at the time of the attack. Just going on word of mouth there

Oh stop trolling. No one knows at the moment who is behind all this so who are we supposed to protest against?

Was in the IT in this area back in 2009 to 2013 and heard reports of different feuds between gangs around this area. Heard from a friend down there about these recent events. Seems that the youth project, GAA club and boxing club speak out against drugs and criminality encouraging the youth of the area to not follow this lifestyle. Then, the drug dealers do these ISIS-inspired acts to get revenge and silence outspoken critics of criminality. A local councillor who is famous for speaking out against drug crime in the area had his car burned last year too.
