Hide AdCllr Ritchie has asked the authorities to ensure proper assessment is carried out on serious offenders before parole is granted. “Hopefully under the new policing structure this type of police will continue to reduce crime in our borough.”
Alderman Adrian Watson said: “It is an absolute disgrace that sex offenders are able to get back onto our streets and the fact that he was arrested in Antrim with so many primary schools nearby is very scary.
He added: I give credit to the hard work carried out by the PSNI, keeping Antrim safe.”
