Ballymena Alliance Representative Jayne Dunlop has slammed those that carried out a double petrol attack on a house at Dunfane Park in Ballymena in the early hours of this morning. Two adults and one child were in the house when the attack took place at 1am this morning

Jayne Dunlop said: "I am absolutely appalled by this attack. The attack is made even more disgraceful because of the fact that there were two adults and one child in the house at the time.

"Petrol bombings have become a disturbingly regular occurrence in the Ballymena area, with one having taken place not far from the scene of this attack, just last week.

"Those that endanger human life must be swiftly brought to justice, and I would appeal to anyone with information on this matter to contact police immediately."
