Dickson expresses concern for residents following Larne fire

Alliance East Antrim MLA, Stewart Dickson, has condemned those behind an arson attack on a shop in Larne which forced residents in the building to leave their homes. This is the second time that the shop on Dunluce Street has been targeted in a month.

Stewart Dickson MLA said: “Whoever is responsible for this arson attack has put the lives of these residents at risk. There can be no justification for setting a building on fire.

“My thoughts are with the residents who were put out of their homes for the second time in a month.

“The people behind this attack must be urgently apprehended by the Police before any other lives are put in danger, so I would urge anybody with any information to contact the Police or Crimestoppers.”
