POLICE IN NORTHERN IRELAND are investigating after broken glass was deliberately embedded into a playground in Antrim.
The incident was reported on Friday when the glass shards were found in the outdoor play area at the Muckamore community centre.
“The shards had been removed prior to the report to police, however it is believed the glass was inserted into the foam deliberately,” the PSNI said in a statement.
No children accessed the park while the glass was in place, the PSNI said.
Police are now trying to track down the culprits and have appealed to the public to come forward with any information about who was responsible.
“Officers are keen to hear from anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area of the play park on 27/28 June or anyone who may be ale to identify the person or people responsible for this reckless and dangerous act,” the PSNI statement said.

Museums across the world have banners outside to advertise events. Yet for some reason An Taisce feels this should be a special case. Just like Dublin’s special skyline.
TheJournal had an image of what these banners are supposed to look like in a previous article. I cannot imagine anyone saying they look anything but fitting and dignified to match the importance of the GPO.
@Donncha: they have similar outside the old central bank, no issue
Urgh. An Taisce are trying to make themselves relevant again
Agreed, an Taisce and an bord pleanala ignore plastic signage all over o’Connell street and object to some classical banners designed in keeping with the GPO, bunch of muppets.
@Carla Killeen: Neither An Bord Pleanála or an Taisce have any power to remove signage that is a matter for planning enforcement. There is a loophole where the premise claim the signage is temporary or they remove the signage before they are due to appear in Court.
Seriously? And these clowns are paid to come up with this sort of claptrap!!
It’s about our culture not An Taisce’s band of irrational members
It’s a beautiful building leave it alone.
And, previously, Dublin City Council thought it was okay for an Ann Summers sex shop to open on O’Connell street? Really!
Banners look aufull that said gpo could do with a bit of a wash down
These c@#$s clearly have f@#$ all to do

I agree with An Taisce. The GPO should not be draped with banners for 3 years. Leave it alone.
An Taisce should go F right off.
It’s all right to have soup kitchens outside every night to make it even more unsightly than the banners though isn’t it?
have your say
