A car was burnt out in Donaghcloney late last night (Friday), with one local representative branding the incident ‘absolutely disgraceful’.
The car was set on fire at around 11pm at Main Street in the village.
Graffiti was also daubed on the walls of a property in the area.
Local DUP Alderman Mark Baxter has condemned those responsible and called for anyone with information to pass it on to police.
He said: “This is absolutely disgraceful behaviour and it cannot and will not be tolerated in our community.
“Incidents like this put lives at risk, cause fear for residents and damage the reputation of our village. We are a close knit community and this type of criminal activity must stop.
“Those responsible need to be identified and brought to justice.
“If anyone saw anything suspicious in the area around 11 pm, noticed unusual vehicles, or has any CCTV or dashcam footage, please contact the police directly. Alternatively you can send me a private message and I will ensure the information is passed on.
“Silence protects those responsible. Speaking up protects our community.
“Let’s stand together and make it clear that this behaviour has no place in Donacloney.”
