Spate of attacks on west Belfast homes
It is feared a spate of attacks on homes in the Broadway area of west Belfast may lead to a repeat of violent scenes witnessed in the area last year.
Five homes including a pensioner’s property were targeted in overnight attacks after bricks were thrown through windows.
Local community worker Colin Patten says people in the area are living in fear.
“They are scared and fearful of anything coming through the window because they don’t know what is going to be next”.
Last year troubled flared at the roundabout at Broadway and it is feared these latest attacks will trigger more trouble.
“Tensions are high and we need to calm people and reassure them that we are doing our best to stop it”, he said.
