Paint thrown at Orange Hall in Glenavy

Jars containing white paint were thrown at the Orange Hall at Main Street in Glenavy sometime during the night in what police are treating as a sectarian hate crime.

Superintendent Davy Beck, District Commander for Lisburn and Castlereagh District said no one wants to see this type of activity in the village.


Police received the report of criminal damage at around 10am this morning (Monday 22 July).

Superintendent Davy Beck is appealing for witnesses or dash cam footage.

“I have spoken to a number of community representatives in the area and what is clear to me is that no one wants to see this type of activity in Glenavy.  If you were in the area and noticed anything suspicious or you noticed anyone in the area of the hall or indeed if you were passing through the village and you have any dash-cam footage my officers would be keen to speak with you.

“Please call officers in Lisburn on 101 and quote reference number 434 22/07/19. 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,” he added.
