Two Arson Attacks On House In Ballymena

Two arson attacks have happened within hours on the same house in Ballymena at around 3.20am this morning.

Two petrol bombs were thrown at the property in Drumclug Park, and police were alerted after a back bedroom window was broken, which caused a fire to start inside the house.

No one was in the house at the time of the attack.

Police have appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
