Robert Foster said: “Actions such as these are not welcome in this community and have no support from the residents of North Belfast. An atmosphere of fear and intimidation should not be allowed to prevail.

“The people of North Belfast want to move beyond these vile attacks and focus on prospering the community through education, housing and improving the health care system.

“Luckily no one was injured during this incident and I thank the dedicated work of the Police Service of Northern Ireland in addressing the situation.

“I would urge anyone with information to contact the PSNI on 101 or anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
