A paint bomb has been thrown at a Catholic Church in Larne.
The chapel on Agnew Street was targeted sometime overnight but police received the report at 11am today.
The incident is being treated as a hate crime.
Sergeant Alan Lowry said, “Enquiries are continuing and at this stage the incident is being treated as a sectarian hate crime.
“We would appeal to anyone with any information to contact police in Larne on 101, quoting reference number 608 16/02/20."
