Green Party Cllr Condemns East Belfast Burglary

A Green Party councillor has condemned the burglary at a clothes shop in east Belfast over the weekend.

Burglars ransacked David James Kerr store on the Newtownards Road and also stole a quantity of stock.

East Belfast Green Party representative Ross Brown branded the burglary "disgraceful".

He said: "It is the last thing the developing business community in East Belfast needs.

"That such a new shop, which contributes to the local area in so many ways, has been targeted is a worrying development. Indeed I aware of a number of other recent robberies in east Belfast."
