Hijacking linked to overnight Derry security alert The Mitsubishi Outlander was found burnt out in the Racecourse Road area of Derry. Seamus McKinney 11 January, 2021 17:24 POLICE believe the hijacking of a car by four masked men in Derry may be linked to a security alert in the city. In a significant increase in paramilitary-style activity, the latest incident came after two shootings in the city within two days. A police spokesman said the hijacking and burning of a Mitsubishi Outlander vehicle in the Cornshell Fields area of Shantallow came shortly before the discovery of what turned out to be an elaborate hoax device.
