A leisure center had set fire to the adjacent Larne. Nine police officers were damaged. Videos are circulating where masked young people hit the windows of the building on Wednesday evening.
In Ballymena, 33 kilometers west of Larne, the riot police with armored vehicles locked on Wednesday evening streets. About 200 people were opposite them.

Family housed in leisure center

According to Thursday’s announcement, a total of six other people were arrested, including three young people. Criminal behavior is not a place in the streets of Noord -Ireland, assistant -head commissioner Ryan Henderson was upset. It is “completely unacceptable”.
Memories of knife attack in Southport are awake
The British Prime Minister Keir Strandmer had “convicted the riots in North Ireland”. Northern Ireland’s co-government leader Michelle O’Neill stated that it was “pure racism, you can’t call it”.
The case is reminiscent of the effects of the knife attack in Southport in English in the summer of 2024, after which the extremist riots with the judge in various British cities had taken place. A teenager had stormed and stabbed a Taylor Swift dance course with a knife. Three girls died, many other children were injured.
