Investigation Launches After Armagh Family Harassed For Seven Months

Police in Armagh have launched an investigation after a family have been subjected to a number of attacks on their home over the past seven months.

Paint and corrosives were thrown over the family car while it was parked in Lower English Street between the evening of 07 and the early hours of 08 November.

Previously, windows have been broken in the family home and a works van has also been damaged.

A PSNI spokesperson said: "This matter is being treated extremely seriously and a proactive investigation to identify the perpetrator or perpetrators has been launched. The harassment of a family in this way and the wilful criminal damage of property cannot be tolerated. Those behind these attacks should expect to face the consequences of their actions.

"We are keen to hear from witnesses or anyone with information that could assist the police investigation. Officers can be contacted in Armagh by calling the non-emergency number 101."
