Following reports of a series of tit for tat attacks on homes in the Carrickfergus area, East Antrim MLA Roy Beggs of the Ulster Unionist Party said:
“The homes being damaged by the feuding organised crime gangs in Carrickfergus is adversely affecting families, neighbours and the wider community. I am pleased that the police have allocated additional resources and increased patrolling to try to deescalate the situation. I would call on those involved to bring this to an end before someone is seriously injured and I would urge anyone with information of criminal activity to contact the PSNI or Crimestoppers.”
