Bricks Thrown At Home In South Belfast
A house in south Belfast has been damaged after bricks were thrown at it, shattering the front windows.
At around 9:55 pm on Wednesday 14 August, police officers received a report from a member of the public that bricks had been hurled at a house in the Lindsay Way area of Donegall Pass, shattering the front windows.
In a statement, Sergeant Mulholland said: "At approximately 9.55pm, officers on patrol were flagged down by a member of the public reporting that bricks had been thrown at a house, smashing the front windows.
"Luckily, the resident who was inside at the time wasn’t injured but has been left shaken by their ordeal.
"This type of act is unacceptable and we are treating this as a racially motivated hate crime.
"Enquiries are ongoing and I am appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the attack or to anyone with CCTV or other footage that could assist in identifying those responsible, to contact police on 101 quoting reference 1636 of 14/08/24."
Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.
