Racist attacks probe: houses raided
Police investigating racist attacks against Romanians in Northern Ireland have raided several houses.
Up to three properties in south Belfast were searched after more than 100 migrants fled their homes following weekend vandalism.
They were put up for the night in a church hall and have been given emergency accommodation after a spate of incidents involving smashed windows.
A Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) spokeswoman said: "We are conducting an ongoing investigation in Donegall Avenue."
Donegall Avenue is in the loyalist working-class village area close to where the two properties were attacked last weekend.
Around 114 people were left as refugees as the Romanian ambassador visited Belfast for talks with political leaders and police.
On Wednesday night a bathroom window was broken in a house where three generations of Romanians were living.
Political leaders have condemned the violence.
