Description:

The Police Service of Northern Ireland condemns the disgraceful scenes of violence on the streets last night, Tuesday 10 June.

In a second night of rioting and disorder, mainly in the Clonavon Terrace area of Ballymena, police officers came under sustained attack over a number of hours with multiple petrol bombs, heavy masonry, bricks and fireworks in their direction.

Earlier in the evening, a number of protests took place in areas of Belfast, Lisburn, Coleraine and Newtownabbey. Officers attended to monitor the situation and ensure an appropriate and proportionate policing response. In Carrickfergus two bins were set alight and bottles and masonry thrown at police in the Sunnylands area by a group of 20-30 young people at around 8.30pm. In Newtownabbey bins were set alight at the rounadabout on O’Neill Road.
