Investigation Launched Into Suspected Arson Attack In Enniskillen
An investigation has been launched after two cars were extensively damaged in a suspected arson attack in Enniskillen.
It is understood that a black Nissan Navara Jeep was set alight as it was parked outside a hotel on the Killadeas Road at approximately 11.45pm last night. The Jeep was extensively damaged by the fire, which also spread to a grey Peugeot 407 parked next to it.
Police have said that a small silver/grey coloured car was seen "speeding off" from the scene. It is believed that the car turned left onto the Killadeas Road, before travelling in the direction of Kesh.
Anyone with any information on the incident, or anyone who witnessed anything suspicious, is asked to contact the PSNI in Enniskillen.
White Powder Found At Belfast School 'Not Hazardous'
White powder discovered inside envelopes at a Belfast school yesterday has been ruled as "not hazardous".
The incident began on Wednesday, 15 March, when envelopes containing a white powder were discovered at Lagan College on Manse Road. Police were called and the area was closed off with no-one allowed to enter or leave the school.
It is understood that following tests carried out by hazardous materials experts at the NI Fire and Rescue Service, the powder was found to be "not hazardous".
Police are continuing to investigate the incident and have issued an appeal for information.
Signal Detected From Rescue 116 Helicopter
Search and rescue teams have detected a signal from the black box of the lost Rescue 116 helicopter, but bad weather is hindering the search.
It is understood that the signal was detected late on Wednesday near Blackrock Lighthouse. It is not yet known if the signal will lead rescuers to find the bulk of the lost helicopter, or if it may have become detached from the rest of the craft.
A land search has also been launched along the coastline for any washed up debris.
