Ms Egan has said: “This is an extremely concerning incident which will have caused distress to many in Bangor.

“I’m sincerely grateful nobody’s been seriously injured, and that whoever’s responsible has been taken into the care of the appropriate authorities.

 

“I’ve been engaging with PSNI and will continue to do so as things progress.”
