Police Investigate East Belfast 'Hate Crimes'
The PSNI is currently investigating two separate attacks on houses in east Belfast, which it says were 'hate crimes'.
In the early hours of this morning, a brick was thrown through the window of a house at Inverary Drive, Belfast.
Then, in a separate attack, the window of a house at Sandbrook Park was also smashed with a brick.
The attacks follow similar attacks at three other houses in east Belfast a week ago. Bricks were thrown at the front windows of two houses in Strandburn Park and Victoria Avenua.
Police believe the three attacks could be linked, but are still investigating.
