The disorder started after police began three searches at about 16:00 BST as part of an ongoing terrorism investigation. A suspected firearm, a number of suspected pipe bombs and a quantity of suspected ammunition were found, police said. Mr Boyle, a former mayor of Derry, said young people need to have the dangers of being involved in these incidents explained to them.
Educating those involved is a priority, he added, and said officers have been put at risk and damage caused to the local community.Speaking on Thursday, PSNI Supt William Calderwood said police appreciate "the disruption search activity can have".SDLP leader Colum Eastwood said there was "nothing to be gained from attacking police officers in Derry - the young kids involved are only putting themselves and their futures in jeopardy".
