Bricks were thrown through the upstairs and downstairs windows of the house on the London Road on Thursday 27 April, around 9.30pm.

The family, who fled here as refugees, were not in the property at the time.

It's believed the mother is pregnant and has two young children aged seven and one and that the family will not be returning to the property.

An online appeal to help the family has been set up in the aftermath of the incident.

Police have asked anyone with information on the incident to contact them.
