Several reports say police in Northern Ireland were warned before the recent Belfast riots that a list of addresses involving migrants was being shared. According to the reporting, the warnings described the circulation of a “hit list” containing migrant addresses and were made repeatedly in the run-up to the disorder.

The information is presented as part of the lead-up to the riots in Belfast, with the focus on police being alerted that such a list was circulating among people in the community. The reports do not provide additional verified details about who compiled the list, how it was distributed, or the extent to which any addresses were acted upon.

Across the accounts, the core commonality is the claim that police received multiple warnings about the address list before the riots occurred. The reports indicate that the issue of the circulated addresses is connected to concerns about targeting individuals, but they do not, in the supplied material, specify investigations, outcomes, or any charges linked directly to the circulation itself.
