POLICE IN BELFAST have seized a crate of petrol bombs from a group of between 20 and 30 youths.
This happened yesterday evening in the Bog Meadows area of the city and saw 11 petrol bombs seized in total.
The PSNI had received reports of the group, most of whom were dressed in dark clothing, travelling towards St James Park in the west of the city.
The gang of males were then seen walking along an alleyway in the area. The group fled once the police arrived at the scene, leaving the petrol bombs behind them.
Speaking about the incident, Inspector Alan Swann, said, “I would like to thank the local community for the information which led to the seizure.
“I would also urge parents to make sure they know where their children are and what they are doing and to talk to them about the danger of getting caught up in the moment and the possible outcomes they could face if they are found committing any offence.
What might seem like fooling about can often result in a criminal record which can affect travel, education and employment opportunities in the future. It is really important that young people understand this.

whether religious or not it’s some great walk.
Well done Spain, good tourism marketing, wonder is there a similar exercise we could undertake for the ould Sod.
Could be a massive pub crawl around Dublin called the ComeIno Walk. When completed the compestelo will be a pint of Guinness at St. James’ Gate! Followed by a high mass gathering at the Temple Bar Centre for Advanced Alcoholics!!!!
We have it ! The WILD ATLANTIC WAY. And it’s a brilliant tourist marketing initiative . Well done Ireland Inc !
I did the first 200k of the French way last year. Have to say it was one of the best experiences ive had. I’m going back to finish it in August, I can’t wait. I’m trying to raise money for the Louth community drug and alcohol team for anyone that would like to sponsor me (ive no shame in begging) I know some people on here have attitudes to people with addictions but for those that don’t and would like to sponsor the charity here’s the link http://www.idonate.ie/mobile/fundraiser/65712_paddy-fagan-s-fundraising-page.html
What’s the best way to go about it solo?
@Malvolio heres great guide books that will tell you all you need to know. I met lots of people who had the same ones along the way. http://www.amazon.com/John-Brierley/e/B0034NMO4A
I was in Santiago last year. Really nice town, very relaxed. Great food, cheap beer and lovely hotel. I would highly recommend it for a weekend away if you are looking for something different. You can always pretend you just finished the camino!
Walking is good for the body, mind and soul but not doing it on the 12th July lol.
Have walked a stretch of it each year since 2011. It’s a great part of Spain. The French Way is getting a little crowded of late, especially during the summer months. Having said that, I always find an excuse to go back :)
have your say
