The constituency office of Northern Ireland's justice minister David Ford has been targeted by arsonists.
Scorch damage was caused to the outside of the premises in Glengormley, Co Antrim after liquid was poured on the building and set alight.
“This is a despicable attack on an office which provides an important service to the whole community. This was a cowardly and cynical attack," said Mr Ford, who is also leader of the Alliance Party.
“Those seeking to cause damage and fear will not prevent us from getting on with our role of serving the public.
