Attacks on Orange halls investigated
Police are examining what they believe are three possibly linked attacks on Orange halls in County Londonderry.
The three halls, at Drumollish outside Maghera, Tamlaght near Portglenone and Killygullib near Kilrea, all had slogans painted on walls, and two had windows damaged and flags removed.
It is understood that there have been a spate of attacks on Orange halls in the south Derry area in recent weeks.
A spokesperson for the Orange Order condemned the attacks as they were raising tensions in the communities.
Earlier in July, two Orange halls were the subject of attempted arson attacks in County Armagh.
