Police Express Disgust At Greenisland Urine Spray Attack

A substance believed to be urine was sprayed through the letterbox into the hallway of a house in Greenisland in an attack branded as a "disgusting hate crime" by the PSNI.

The incident happened in the Moyard Gardens area of Greenisland between 11pm on Tuesday and 7am on Wednesday, 03 October.

The house was targeted "simply because of where the residents came from," it was stated in a post on the PSNI Carrickfergus facebook page.

"I think you would all agree this is simply not acceptable and frankly is simply vile."

The police are asking for anyone with any relevant information to contact them on non-emergency line 101 quoting reference 187 of 3/10/18.
