A councillor in Belfast has called for those causing trouble in his area to "leave our community in peace."
It comes after a car was set alight on the Brianswell Road in West Belfast in the early hours of the morning on Thursday, July 28.
The fire was extinguished by the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service and police are currently treating the incident as arson.

Cllr Caoimhín McCann said he is "fed up" with such incidents occurring in the Colin area, and in West Belfast more generally. He is asking for further pro-active action to be taken to prevent such incidents of anti-social behaviour.
Although recognising there has been a reduction in the amount of incidents in the area, he said it needs to be nipped in the bud completely.
He said: "Police have now lifted the car, it's off the road and out of the area. If you can keep on top of these things quickly, it doesn't egg anybody on in the aftermath.
"It's good there's been a good and quick response from the agencies in this instance, so fair play to them on that, but it's an ongoing issue in the Colin area and in wider West Belfast.
"We have had extra agencies responding with extra presence from the council ASB team in the area, and so have the police as well. We've seen a reduction in the frequency of it which is a positive, but we want to get to a point of zero which is our ideal.
"We're hoping with a pro-active approach and with preventative programmes, those people causing trouble in the area will start making better decisions and get off the back of our community. At this point, we've had a reduction, but are looking forward to when this is a thing of the past."
Cllr McCann is encouraging anyone engaging in anti-social behaviour to divert their energy into becoming engaged with the community more positively.
"They need to get off the backs of our community," he added.
"If you do want to get involved with the community, do it in a positive sense. There's plenty of fantastic work that goes on in this community with regards to mental health provision, suicide prevention, good youth programmes, helping to befriend older people in the community.
"Colin is such a tight-knit wee place, it's absolutely fantastic. For people like that to bring our community down, it doesn't do anything for anyone, and it certainly doesn't do anything for our community at large.
"We have a positive community here and in general that's how it is, incidents like this put a black mark against the area which is of benefit to nobody."
Police have confirmed they're appealing for information and any witnesses following a report of a car on fire within the vicinity of the Colinwell Road, Dunmurry in the early hours of the morning on Thursday, July 28.
A spokesperson for the PSNI said: "Shortly after 3.20am it was reported to police that a car parked in the area had been set alight. It was completely gutted as a result of the blaze.
"Officers attended the scene along with colleagues from Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service, who extinguished the fire. The incident is being treated as arson at this stage.
"Enquiries are ongoing and anyone who was in the area at the time and saw any suspicious activity, and in particular anyone who may have any dash-cam or other footage, is asked to contact police on 101, quoting reference number 168 of 28/07/22.
"Alternatively, you can submit a report online using the non-emergency reporting form via www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/ You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org/ "
