A Newtownabbey woman has said she is living on the streets after being 'forced from her area by paramilitaries'
A Newtownabbey woman has said she is living on the streets after being "forced from her area by paramilitaries".
Following this she was moved to emergency accommodation and then a hostel in Belfast, however she has said that she refuses to stay in it due to widespread drug use in the facility.Speaking to Belfast Live, the woman said: "For months I had been getting threats from paramilitaries in Newtownabbey which had left me terrified for my safety, as I have been attacked in my home before.
"From there I was put into emergency accomodation in Derry and then a hostel in Belfast, but I can't stay there due to the amount of drug use that is going on inside it and I don't want to be near anything like that."The whole ordeal has completely wrecked my nerves and my mental health, and even though I have 320 housing points, it could be months before I am able to be rehomed.
A spokesperson said: "Police received a report that a number of masked men approached a woman in the New Mossley area of Newtownabbey on Tuesday, 25th April and threatened her.
