Ulster Unionist Councillor Norman Hillis has described those responsible for daubing a house in Portballintrae with graffiti and damaging the residents’ car as “sick and twisted, hate-mongers.” The local representative said he was appalled at the incident at Ballaghmore Road. Cllr. Hillis said: “This is a racially motivated attack which has left people in the resort feeling very angry. “The victims are hard working people who have done nothing to deserve this manifestation of evil from people who can only be described as sick and twisted. “These hate-mongers have caused distress and hardship with their sinister attack which is a throwback to darker times. “I would appeal to anyone who knows anything about this incident to help the police investigation. “Those who carry out such heinous actions deserve to feel the full force of the law.”
