Two men were seen riding on a motorcycle, one of whom was not wearing a helmet in the Laurelbank area of Dunmurry last night (Thursday 17 June).
Stones were thrown at police by a number of young people in the Bell Steel Road area just after 7pm.
Sergeant Tew said the motorcycle was being ridden in an erratic manner. He said the bike turned into Laurelbank, where it was abandoned by its rider and passenger, who then made off on foot.
“A red helmet with a striking image of a skull emblazoned on it was also left behind,” he said.
Sergeant Tew said the rider of this vehicle was not insured, and this incident took place in an area where young children were playing outside.
“Fortunately, no one was harmed, but this type of reckless behaviour can be very worrying for local residents and parents. There could have been a very different outcome, the consequences of which are unthinkable,” he said.
“We are appealing to anyone who anyone who was in the area at the time of this incident, and may have any information which could assist us in our enquiries. You can contact us on 101, and quote reference number 1814 of 17/06/21.”
