THE PSNI have launched an investigation into separate sectarian attacks on a synagogue in north Belfast at the weekend.

Police said a window was smashed some time on Friday night or Saturday morning.

A replacement window was then smashed on Saturday afternoon or evening.

Neighbourhood policing officers are treating it as a religious hate crime.

They have appealed for anyone who witnessed the attacks or has any information about them to contact them on the non-emergency 101 number.
