After attending two popular visitor attractions earlier today, a PSNI spokesperson said:
“Police have issued a number of tickets today both at Carrick-a-rede Rope Bridge and the Giants Causeway.
“Vehicles were parked in a dangerous position at both locations causing an obstruction to other road users, as well as blocking access to local residents.
“As a result a police vehicle was also damaged due to the manner in which vehicles were parked. Folks, when visiting these attractions please be mindful of where you leave your vehicles.”
