‘Residents were left to fend for themselves’: PSNI response to Belfast hit-and-run branded ‘disgrace’ as motorbike stolen from scene

A hit-and-run incident in Belfast has drawn sharp criticism toward the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) following allegations that officers failed to adequately protect the scene. Witnesses reported that residents were left to manage the aftermath of the collision without police intervention, leading to accusations that the authorities abandoned the area.

During the period in which police were reportedly absent, a motorbike involved in the collision was stolen from the site. The incident has been publicly branded a disgrace by those present, highlighting growing tensions regarding police response times and scene management in the wake of the crash.
