Apprentice Boys Hall Attacked
The Apprentice Boys Hall in L'Derry has came under attack for the third time.
Police discovered paint had been thrown over the building during a patrol in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Police are continuing with their enquiries and are asking anyone with information to contact them.
The PSNI said: "Police are aware of previous incidents and extra patrols were put in place. Anyone with information about who is responsible is asked to contact Strand Town Police Station on 0845 600 8000."
Sinn Féin Councillor Colly Kelly said: "In the past week we have seen attacks on First Derry Presbyterian church and the now the Apprentice Boys Hall. A number of paint bombs have also been thrown from the Fountain Estate out onto Bishop Street hitting the fronts of a number of homes in Long Tower Court and others landing in the roadway.
"It's important that the message goes out to whoever was involved that its totally wrong. We cannot allow these sorts of senseless actions to occur in this day and age nor be used to heighten tensions in and around the greater Bishop Street/Fountain area, which is something no one wants."
