An investigation has been launched following a serious assault in Ballymoney on the evening of Monday 09 January.

Issuing an appeal for information and witnesses, Detective Inspector MacCionáoith said: "Shortly after 8.30pm, police received a report that five masked men armed with a crowbar, sledgehammers and baseball bats entered a property through the front door in the Meadow View area.
