By Bairbre Holmes, Press Association
The PSNI have appealed for witnesses after an arson attack on a car and a house in Bangor, saying it was “a clear intent to endanger life”.
Two people were in the house at the time but they were able to escape and no injuries were reported.
It happened at around 4.15am on Sunday in the Ashbury Gardens area.
Detective Sergeant McCartan said: “It was reported that two masked men in dark clothing were seen dousing the car and house in accelerant and setting them on fire, as well as smashing windows, before making off.
“The car was completely burnt-out, with damage caused to the front door of the property.”
They have asked any witnesses, or anyone with dashcam or CCTV footage, to come forward.
