Man (25) due in court after sectarian graffiti appears in Ballymena

A 25-year-old man, arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage after sectarian graffiti was daubed onto properties in Ballymena, is due to appear at the town’s Magistrates’ Court on Saturday 11th April.

The 25-year-old is charged with offences, including criminal damage.


Police are investigating the criminal damage which happened on Wednesday 8 April at Sydney Lane, High Street, Albert Place, the local Court House and at premises on Lower Mill Street as well as on two vehicles.

Inspector Mick Wood said most of the graffiti was of a sectarian nature and police are treating these as sectarian hate crimes.

“Our enquiries are continuing and I would appeal to anyone who has information which could assist our investigation to call us on 101, and quote reference number 1926 of 08/04/20, or alternatively call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111,” he added.
