Larne home attack sees masked men use sledgehammers on windows and doors

Masked men attacked a home in Co Antrim with sledgehammers.

The house in the Moyle Parade area of Larne was targeted in the early hours of this morning, Monday, June 3.

The four men caused damage to the windows and doors using sledgehammers. There was no one in the property at the time.

Detective Sergeant Robinson said: "Shortly after midnight we received a report that four masked males had attacked a house in the Moyle Parade area of the town with what was described as sledgehammers causing damage to windows and doors. Damage was caused to property inside the house.

"There was no one in the property at the time.

"We are working to establish a motive for the attack and would appeal to anyone with information, or who witnessed what happened, to call us on the non emergency number 101, quoting reference number 9 of 03/06/19."

Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.
