Several properties were damaged on Clonavon Terrace in attacks

Hundreds of people have gathered in the Co Antrim town less than 24 hours after riots broke out following a protest last night.

PSNI vehicles have been sent into the area to form barricades on some roads.

This comes after several properties were damaged on Clonavon Terrace in attacks which police have described as “racist thuggery”.

The violent scenes in the area left 15 police injured and a number of cops cars damaged.
