Boyle shocked at Coleraine aggravated burglary

Alliance Coleraine Councillor Yvonne Boyle has expressed her shock after a man was assaulted in his own home in Farrenseer Park, Coleraine on Wednesday night. Three men entered the house and beat the victim with baseball bats while the victim’s partner and child were in the same room.

Cllr Yvonne Boyle said: “I am appalled and shocked at the brutality of this assault. I hope the victim will be able to make a full recovery from his injuries.

“This is a very disturbing crime carried out by those who have no regards for the well being of others.

“The police need to apprehend these individuals and so I would urge anybody with any information about this attack to contact the police.”
