It’s only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured.
That’s the message from police following a number of incidents around the Greencastle area of north Belfast in which lorry drivers’ windscreens were broken by youths hurling bricks and stones.
Police say this anti-social behaviour has involved youths throwing stones at bus and train services, and on the latest occasion at traffic on the country bound section of the M2 motorway close to the Lower Whitewell Road.
They say the message is not getting through and they are appealing for an immediate stop to this reckless behaviour.
Newtownabbey police have been dealing with numerous reports of anti-social behaviour in the area.
“This reckless and dangerous activity has been condemned by all sections of our community. It’s only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured. The message just not getting through to those involved.
“If you know anything about this activity please contact any police officer from Newtownabbey. If you’re out with a group of friends and someone suggests stoning a bus or train speak up, it’s not on. It’s just plain stupid,” added a spokesperson.
