Speaking to Northern Sound, he said that he can't understand how the situation occurred.

Cllr Truell said: "I just can't understand it, I really can't. You'd only see it on a movie on the TV, or some fiction.

"I just can't believe that it had to happen. Especially in a place like Drum, its a quiet area.

"Everyone is very annoyed by what's happened. There's a village plan in Drum, but its not easy and this kinda thing just sets the whole thing back," Cllr. Truell added.
