Windows of a car and house have been smashed by masked men during a suspected paramilitary attack in Antrim.

It happened in Ardnaglass Gardens shortly after midnight.

The gang made off in a VW Passat which was found burt out in Carneary Lane a short time later.

Detective Sergeant Colin Gray said: “At around half past midnight it was reported that a number of masked males had damaged a property in Ardnaglass Gardens.

It appears as though an attempt was made to force entry into the property by smashing the front door. The windows of a Volkswagen Golf parked outside were also smashed.

It’s believed the males made their escape in a Volkswagen Passat that was found burnt out in the Carneary Lane area a short time later.

We would like to hear from anyone with information about this crime. Detectives can be contacted by calling 101, quoting reference number 32 18/08/17.”
