Violence first erupted in Ballymena, County Antrim on Monday after two 14-year-old boys, thought to be Romanian, were charged with the attempted rape of a young girl.
The violence continued on Tuesday night, with rioters attacking police with petrol bombs, masonry and fireworks, as well as targeting properties they believed belonged to foreigners.
Video footage obtained by The Telegraph shows a group of balaclava-clad men laughing in front of a house on Queen Street that had been set alight after being broken into.
The person filming asks for likes, follows and “gifts” while livestreaming on TikTok before someone is heard to say they will “smash a window for a gift”.
At one point, the person streaming the incident says “rack them gifts up, boys” and “I’ve got 2.6k views lad”.
