SDLP's Tim Attwood calls for tougher sentences to be handed to car criminals after latest Belfast carjackings

There've been two more carjackings involving women in Belfast.
The first happened in the early hours of Saturday morning when two women were pulled from their car by four masked men in Slievegallion Drive. Then, less than 24 hours later, a young mother had her car taken away from her at Springfield Parade by two men whose faces were covered by scarves. And now there's been criticism of the police response to car crime and those who commit it. Sinn Fein have branded the release of six men allegedly involved two of the weekend's incidents as "lazy policing".
