POLICE have appealed for witnesses to come forward after a fast food restaurant was targeted for a second time in what they are treating as a ‘racially motivated’ attack.
The incident happened in the early hours of yesterday morning (September 29) in Co. Antrim.
Police were called to reports of criminal damage at the premises in Bushmills at around 4.30am.
“We received a report at around 4.30am that the front window and door of a fast food restaurant in the Main Street area had been smashed,” the PSNI’s Chief Inspector Adams said.
“There was also extensive damage caused inside, including paint splashed across the interior of the premises,” he added.
“It is not believed that anything was taken during the incident and there was no one inside the premises at the time.”
