I condemn the appalling attack on the PS9 at the police station last evening, or attempted attack, and the kidnapping of a delivery driver. Beyond comprehension that people would attempt to commit such dastardly crimes in Northern Ireland and give the peace we've had for so many years. This is an attack on the entire community and it has to be resolutely condemned. I'm talking with the PS9 community and those who were endangered last evening by a reckless act.
