A SET of traffic lights on a busy road in north Belfast have been left gutted in a late night arson attack.
It is believed the traffic lights on the busy North Queen Street in New Lodge were damaged some time between Monday evening and early Tuesday morning.
Earlier this month traffic lights outside a west Belfast primary school were targeted by arsonists.
The lights situated outside a crossing at St Kieran’s Primary School on the Bell Steel Road had also been targeted in previous years.
And last August the Housing Executive issued an appeal after young people set fire to traffic signals along the main Stewartstown Road in west Belfast.
They said there had been more than 20 reported incidents of young people setting the traffic lights on fire and that there were local concerns for public safety.
