Sinn Féin Call For Leaders To Stand 'Shoulder To Shoulder' Following Violence
Sinn Féin has called on political unionism and civic and community leaders to stand "shoulder to shoulder" against the latest set of attacks being carried out by loyalist paramilitaries in the east Antrim area.
Making the call, Oliver McMullan said: "Several petrol bombs were thrown into the front window of a property the Killyglen Road area in Larne, causing scorch damage to a front room.
"This is not the first time that this home has been targeted and thankfully no one was injured. Anyone with information on this attack should bring it forward to the police.
"I am calling on political unionism and civic and community leaders in the Larne area to stand shoulder to shoulder with me in condemning this continued criminal activity by loyalist paramilitaries and I am urging the PSNI to do more to bring this crime wave to an end."
