HOUSE AND CAR ATTACKED IN RACE HATE CRIME

Police crime scene picDETECTIVES are investigating after the home of a young family was attacked and their neighbour’s car torched in racist attacks in south Belfast.

Police say both families are foreign nationals with young children.

A bottle was thrown at the home of a family from Bangladesh around 3.35 am smashing their living room window.

A car belonging to their Kuwaiti neighbours parked nearby was burnt out.

PSNI Det Sgt Black said: “It is believed that flammable liquid was poured over the vehicle.

“The car was extensively damaged, but no-one was believed to have been in the car at the time of the incident.

“Inquiries are continuing but at this stage, police are treating the incident as a hate crime.”

Anyone with information is asked to ring detectives on the non-emergency 101 number.
