Ballymena, attacco con molotov | Ballymena, petrol bomb attackIt is believed at least two devices were thrown through a downstairs window of the Galgorm Road property at 10.30pm on Sunday night.

A number of other devices also hit the outside of the building.

Scorch damage has been caused to the floor, walls and curtains and a window frame was also damaged.

The woman – who is understood to be Polish – was alone in the house at the time of the attack and escaped injury.

A police spokesman said: “A motive for the attack has not yet been established – the investigation is at an early stage.”

Officers have appealed for information, specifically about a white van which was seen on the Galgorm Road around the time of the incident.

Local SDLP MLA Declan O’Loan has condemned those responsible and urged any witness to come forward to police.

“I wholeheartedly deplore this savage attack which could easily have resulted in the loss of life,” he said.

“On the face of it, it appears that this crime may have been racially motivated.

“Although Ballymena has experienced attacks of this nature before, there have been very few in recent years and people had hoped that this type of crime had been consigned to the history books.”
