Places of worship in Northern Ireland have been attacked more than 400 times in the past three years, figures show. Christian Action Research and Education (CARE) NI said there were 445 recorded cases of criminal damage.

The charity's figures came from a Freedom of Information request (FOI) to the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). It has called on political parties to help set up a fund for extra security.
