Windows have been smashed and graffiti sprayed onto a house in what police are describing as a racially-motivated hate crime.

The incident in Glanroy Terrace, Newtownabbey, in County Antrim happened shortly after 22:30 BST on Friday.

No one was in the house at the time of the incident.

Insp Buchanan said the residents are "understandably very distressed by what has happened at their home, where they should feel safe and welcome".

"This incident is completely unacceptable and is being treated as a racially-motivated hate crime," Insp Buchanan said.

Police are appealing for information.
