Two men have been arrested by police in connection with ‘recent disorder’ in the New Lodge area.
The men, aged 19 and 50, were arrested in the north Belfast area this morning (Thursday) on suspicion of a number of offences, including riotous behaviour, possessing a petrol bomb and throwing a petrol bomb.
Both remain in custody at this time assisting with police enquiries.
Neighbourhood Policing Team Inspector Paul Noble said police are continuing to investigate the disorder that occurred over the summer months in the New Lodge area and would appeal to anyone with any information which could assist with their enquiries to contact officers at Tennent St on 101.
“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.
