The wanton vandalism that has been carried out on homes being built in east Belfast is profoundly depressing.
As well as smashing fifteen windows in a development under construction in the Woodlee Court area of the Beersbridge Road, the perpetrators sprayed 'local only' graffiti on the wall of a house.
Police are treating this incident as a hate crime and it is essential anyone with information about this attack comes forward.
Such intolerant attitudes must be completely rejected while potential residents need to reassured that this is a safe and welcoming place to live.
