“Our services are still working to paint a complete picture of the damages caused this morning and we will communicate on these once complete.”

These senseless acts are being perpetrated by a particular grouping inside the industry, supported by opportunistic criminals“This will have a severe impact on people travelling to and from work, school and to access services such as healthcare.”
