A 45-year-old man has been arrested by police investigating sectarian-motivated attacks on houses in north Belfast.

Masonry was thrown at properties on Annalee Street and Alloa Street by masked suspects on 21 May.

A number of families whose homes were targeted in the cross-community housing development later said they planned to leave the area.

The man, who was detained on Tuesday, has been charged with criminal damage and is expected to appear in court in Belfast next month.
