PSNI Seek Information After Damage To New Antrim Properties
Police are seeking information after two newly constructed properties in the Antrim area were damaged by criminals.
Just before 3am on Sunday, 30 June, it was reported that four individuals dressed in dark clothing entered the Reford Grove development and thrown objects.
Local policing Inspector Parkes said: "On arrival, officers noted that two windows had been smashed, and paint damage caused, at both of the properties.
"We are treating this damage as a sectarian-motivated hate crime. I want to assure the public that we take all reports of hate crime extremely seriously. We have already increased proactive patrols in the area and our neighbourhood policing team will continue to engage with local community representatives and partner agencies, to monitor any impact or concerns.
"There is no place in our society for such behaviour. We take a zero tolerance approach to those wanting to cause fear, or incite and promote hatred. Enquiries are ongoing and anyone with any information is asked to call 101, quoting reference number 283 of 30/06/24."
A report can also be made online via the non-emergency reporting form via or by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
