Four masked men attacked a house in Larne with what’s believed to have been sledgehammers just after midnight.

Damage was caused to the windows and doors and the interior of the house at Moyle Parade. No one was in the property at the time.


Detectives in Ballymena investigating the report of the aggravated burglary are appealing for witnesses and information.

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.

“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,” added Detective Sergeant Robinson.

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.
