John Finucane tells police that his campaign posters have been placed on a bonfire
John Finucane, a Sinn Féin candidate in the general election, said he had contacted police after learning that some of his campaign posters had been attached to a bonfire.
The solicitor, son of loyalist murder victim Pat Finucane, tweeted a picture of the bonfire on Tuesday morning.
"My posters have been placed on top of a bonfire," he wrote.
"I have reported this hate crime & theft to PSNI to allow them to act urgently."
His campaign posters were also placed on a bonfire in north Belfast where he stood as a candidate for Sinn Féin in last month's General Election.
The posters were on a pyre on North Queen Street, near its junction with York Road.

It's discomforting to see your face on a bonfire. But it won't stop me working for all people, including Loyalists, in our community. pic.twitter.com/sHwkldGqv2
