Condemning the incident, Declan Kearney MLA said: “I view this attack as a direct response to Noel’s consistent condemnation of criminality in Rathenraw and the wider Antrim town area.

Mr Kearney added: “Noel Maguire will not be submitting to this type of intimidation, nor will he or Sinn Féin be deterred from speaking out against all forms of criminality. We must have a zero tolerance to this type of anti-community activity.
“I reiterate my call for all neighbourhoods to stand together and give a clear message on crime. We all need to work together, and in partnership with the police in order to face down the criminals in our midst.”
It is understood the incident followed a similar attack on a number of cars in the area the previous day.
