Investigation Launches Into Suspected Arson In L'Derry
L'Derry PSNI have issued an appeal for information and witnesses following the report of a fire on Buncrana Road in the city during the early hours of today, Thursday 4 January.
Police received a report just before 2.30am that a house under construction had been set alight causing significant damage. Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service (NIFRS) attended the scene and extinguished the blaze. NIFRS believe the fire was deliberate and so the incident is being treated as arson.

The number to call is 101, quoting 109 of 04/01/24 or report online using the non-emergency reporting form via www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/ or anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
