Commenting on attacks on Filipino nationals in Ballymena area Jon Burrows UUP MLA for North Antrim said: “This was a disgraceful attack on law abiding and hard working people who make a significant contribution to the local economy.

I will be reaching out to Sam Carson today and I’ve already contacted the senior police team in the area to check on the progress of the investigation and I have  requested additional patrols in the area to reassure the local community and to  deter further attacks.

I appeal to anyone with information about this crime to contact the PSNI or if they feel they cannot do so - to contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111”.
