Police are investigating a report of criminal damage after a brick was thrown at a car in the Main Street area of Cullybackey on Sunday afternoon, 5th January.
Neighbourhood Inspector Parkes said:
“The brick was thrown through the rear passenger window of the vehicle near a building site at approximately 4.45pm – causing extensive damage. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
“Two young people were observed running from the site in the direction of Main Street towards Tobar Park.
“Patrols of the immediate area were conducted by police – however the suspects were not located. We are following lines of enquiry, and will be continuing with routine patrols of the area.
“We would appeal to anyone who witnessed what happened or who has dash-cam or other video footage of the area to contact us on the non-emergency number 101 and quote reference number 870 05/01/25.”
Local DUP Councillor Tyler Hoey has condemned the incident.
"I totally condemn the atrocious damaged caused to the car belonging to an innocent member of the public yesterday afternoon in Cullybackey.
“I take some relief that the child wasn't in the car and no injuries sustained. This could have ended very badly. Those responsible need to come forward and take ownership of their actions.
“I would ask anyone who has any video camera footage that links in with the timings of the incident (4.45pm - 5.30pm) to contact the PSNI or alternatively I can pass these on through myself."
