Police in North Belfast are investigating an incident which they say is being treated as a race hate incident.

Officers received a report at around 10.30am this morning that racially offensive language was written on two pig's heads left outside a property at Northumberland Street.

Chief Inspector Gavin Kirkpatrick said, "officers are currently carrying out enquiries into this incident which must be condemned by all".

PSNI officers are appealing for anybody with information about the incident to contact them.
