A Belfast park has been left in a mess after a night of anti-social behaviour.
It appears thugs drove a car in circles around the playing field in Falls Park before setting the vehicle on fire.
This morning, residents woke to the playing field covered in tyre marks and a smouldering car wreckage. The actions of those responsible have been widely condemned by locals.

A Belfast City Council spokeswoman said: “The facilities at Falls Park are well used and enjoyed by the local community so it’s extremely disappointing to see them damaged in this way. The extent of the damage means the pitch will be out of use for some time while repairs are carried out.
“Council continues to work in partnership with the local community and statutory agencies, including the PSNI, to address anti-social behaviour and criminality and we would encourage anyone who witnessed the incidents to make a report to the PSNI on 101.”
