Police in Portadown have appealed for assistance in their investigation of a series of attacks at St Patrick's Catholic Church in the town. One priest said fireworks had been thrown at the church when the trouble began at Halloween.
People attending Mass had been abused and insulted. In another incident youths ran into the church and spat into the font. Windows and doors had been sprayed with artificial snow and the letters LVF had been daubed on doors and windows.
