Northern Ireland's small business community has called on politicians for support in its battle against crime.

Burglary and vandalism are having a "devastating" effect on small firms, Wilfred Mitchell of the Federation of Small Businesses said.
The FSB policy chairman said that crime ate into slim budgets and caused disruption and anxiety.
A survey of the FSB's 5,000 members found that 59% suffered at least one crime in the last year.
