Masked men cause damage to Rushpark property

At around 9.45pm, three masked men caused extensive damage to the windows and door of a house in the area. All three were wearing dark coloured clothing and were armed with a hammer and a baseball bat.

The men made off in the direction of Woodland Drive following the attack. It is believed they may have then left the area in a silver coloured saloon type car. A man and a woman, along with three children who were in the house at the time were not injured.

Constable A Cooke is appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident or who observed a silver coloured saloon type car in the area of Woodland Drive around the time of, or immediately after the incident to contact officers in Newtownabbey Police Station on the non-emergency number 101. Information can also be passed anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
