Shortly before midnight on Wednesday, October 31, officers responded to a report of a disturbance at licenced premises on Ballymoney Street where it is believed five males who were denied entry to the bar began throwing bricks and bottles.

At around 3am there was a report of windows smashed at property on Market Road and shortly before 5am a male used a baseball bat to smash the windows of a car in the Dicksons Hill area. The culprit made off in a red car with others on board.

Damage was also caused to windows of a house in the Glenshesk Drive area.

Sergeant Neil Hewat said: “We believe all these incidents are linked and would be keen to speak to anyone who witnessed what happened or could shed further light on those involved.
