Petrol bombs thrown at PSNI
Police have been attacked with petrol bombs and bricks in Ballyclare as they carried out a planned drugs raid on a property in the Co Antrim town.
Officers came under attack from a crowd of youths in the Grahamstown Park area of the town as they carried out their search on Thursday afternoon.
A makeshift barricade was briefly put in place at Thornhill Drive during the trouble.
It is understood a number of children were evacuated from a nearby nursery school over concerns for their safety.
There are no reports of any injury or damage. Officers have now left the scene.
A 31-year-old man, who was arrested, was later charged with possession of class A drugs with intent to supply.
He is to expected appear before Belfast Magistrates Court in March.
A number of items were removed for further examination, a police spokesman said.
The charges are subject to be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service.
