House attacked by petrol bombers

Two houses were attacked with paint and another with a petrol bomb

A petrol bomb has been thrown into the garden of a house at Graymount Park in north Belfast.

A police spokesperson said no one was injured in the incident which occurred at 0115 BST on Monday.

A short distance away in Old Throne Park, paint was thrown at two houses. A window in the bedroom of two boys in one home was damaged.

Police have appealed for anyone with information about the incidents to contact them.

The SDLP deputy mayor of Belfast, Pat Convery, said such "wicked attacks" must stop.

"It really is shameful that there are still some people in Belfast intent on raising tensions and causing serious damage and suffering," he said.

They were also condemned by Sinn Fein councillor Tierna Cunningham.

"These attacks are wrong from whatever section of the community they come from and need to be brought to an end immediately," she said.
