A man has been charged with a number of offences including criminal damage after sectarian graffiti appeared on houses in Ballymena.
The 25-year-old was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of 25 counts of criminal damage to properties and vehicles near Albert Place.
White paint was daubed onto houses on Sydney Lane, High Street, Albert Place, the local Court House and premises on Lower Mill Street.
Two cars were also singled out.
Police said most of the graffiti was "of a sectarian nature" and is therefore being treated as sectarian hate crimes.
The suspect is due to appear before Ballymena Magistrates Court on Saturday, April 11.
