It has been reported that a number of crossbow bolts have been fired at Rathcoole Youth Centre and damage has been caused.

Commenting on the issue, Sergeant Boyd said: “We do not believe that this was a malicious incident, but we would remind owners of crossbows that these can be dangerous weapons and they should be aware of the possible criminal implications of their use.

“This is a reckless act using a weapon that could injure a member of the public. Anyone who knows anything about these incidents should contact the neighbourhood policing team in Newtownabbey on 101.
