DUP MLA Carla Lockhart condemned a burglary as “an attack on the whole community”.
“This is a disgusting attack on Mount Zion House and one I unreservedly condemn,” said Ms Lockhart.
“The building for many years has been used as a safe, shared space for children, young people and various charities and businesses.
“In the past it has also be utilised for social housing and this is an attack on the whole community.
“There has been a lot of burglaries in the area over the past number of months and I met with the Police this week to press for a dedicated anti burglary policing team within E District.
“There are far to many resources tied up in non essential administrative jobs and I believe we need to see the public protected from these thieves and an increased presence on the ground.”
