The residents had to leave their properties after the attacks.
A Sinn Fein MP has condemned the Intimidation of Catholic families in North Belfast branding it “outrageous and totally unacceptable”.
John Finucane was speaking following reports that the UDA are intimidating residents in the Oldpark area.
Reports on Sunday suggested that the West Belfast UDA had pulled out of a deal to stop attacks on a mixed housing development. It’s understood four Catholic families living in the estate have been told to leave immediately.
Calling for an urgent meeting with the PSNI over the issue, Mr Finucane said: “Everyone must stand against this criminality. We need to see and hear a united political response to this sectarian intimidation including from unionist representatives.
“This is not an isolated issue, and it requires all political parties and relevant agencies to stand together, face it down, and provide full support to the victims.
“Sinn Féin will be seeking an urgent meeting with police to discuss the response to this intimidation. Residents have the right to live safely, free from intimidation and violence.”
