Several Housing Executive properties have been vandalised in north Belfast.

The homes, which are currently being upgraded as part of a £360,000 investment, were targeted in the Victoria Parade area of New Lodge.

A spokesman for the executive said: “This has forced our contractor to postpone carrying out major home improvement works to these currently unoccupied properties.

“Upon initial assessment of the site, it appears that the damage is extensive and will cause delays to the families returning to their homes.”
