Date published:
The First Minister and deputy First Minister have condemned the attack on Dunmurry police station.
First Minister Michelle O’Neill said:
"Those behind this reckless attack have put lives in danger and shown a total disregard for the local community.
"Our thoughts are with the delivery driver who was put through an extremely terrifying ordeal as well as those residents who had to be evacuated.
"It is extremely fortunate that nobody was killed or seriously injured by the selfish actions of those who have nothing to offer our society.”
Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly said:
"Those responsible for this despicable attack put lives at risk. I have no doubt all right-thinking people will reject this sort of behaviour and see it as a cowardly attempt to try and drag us all backwards.
"We would like to commend the police officers for their swift response to this incident, their courage in the face of danger ensured local residents were protected.
"We would appeal to anyone with information to contact the PSNI.”
