Jim Corr
A neighbour of Dundalk-born musician Jim Corr has been arrested over allegations of posting soiled knickers through his letter box.
According to a report in today’s Irish Mirror, officers questioned the pensioner over claims of harassment at the luxury gated Crawfordsburn estate in Co Down, where the 50-year-old lives.
According to the paper, Jim – the eldest member of pop group The Corrs – turned detective and put up security cameras in a bid to identify the person behind the string of incidents.
The suspect was quizzed over an alleged long-running campaign against the guitarist, who it is claimed has also had his car damaged and post stolen at his plush apartment at Sharman House on the shores of Belfast Lough.
The Mirror reports that tensions between a number of neighbours at the exclusive development had been simmering for around three years after a row over cutting down a section of trees escalated.
Police have been investigating claims of cars being damaged and dog poo being posted through letter boxes at the gated village for more than a year.
PSNI Inspector Roberta Morris confirmed the investigation.
She said: “I can confirm a 70-year-old from the Crawfordsburn area was arrested on November 4 on suspicion of harassment, theft, criminal damage and interference with mail to the detriment of another.
“A report has now been forwarded to the PPS.”
The late Ian Paisley owned an apartment in the same development before his passing last year and lived there after retiring from politics. Homes in the development can sell for around €500,000.
