Turf Lodge Sinn Fein councillor Janice Austin has called on those responsible for violent attacks in the Turf Lodge area to stop immediately before lives are lost.

Ms Austin said:

"I want to condemn the petrol bomb attack on a home in Turf Lodge this evening.

"This is a disgraceful incident and could very easily have led to deaths.

"People in Turf Lodge do not want this type of activity.

"They want and deserve to live their lives peacefully and safely.

"Those responsible for this attack and other incidents that have occurred in recent days must cease immediately.

"They have no place in this community and I am calling on anyone who has any information on these incidents to contact the PSNI.

"These people need to be taken off the streets."
