PSNI Condemn 'Despicable' Attack On Bus For Disabled Children

Police have condemned an attack on a minibus owned by an organisation that supports children with disabilities and their families.

Officers were called to the 'Kids Together' facility on the Stewartstown Road in west Belfast yesterday after the windscreen of the bus was smashed on Sunday evening, 12 May.

The culprits were filmed on CCTV when the incident took place at around 7.45pm. The minibus is likely to be unusable for several days.

A PSNI spokesperson said: "This will cause an enormous inconvenience to the staff and to the young people with complex disabilities that avail of this service.

"This is a despicable act and Police are reviewing CCTV footage showing the culprits involved. This is an attack on a vital community service and will hinder the great work that staff at 'Kids Together' are doing for YOUR community."

Anyone who was involved in the attack or who has any information which may assist the police investigation is urged to contact officers on 101 quoting reference 421 of 13/05/19.
