A vehicle outside a property in Ballymena was set alight in a ‘deliberate arson attack’ in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The incident happened shortly after midnight in the Nursery Close area of the town.
A police spokesperson said: “It’s understood the smash of a window could be heard, before the alarm of the vehicle was activated. A bottle had then been thrown into the car which ignited.
“Two people who were inside the property at the time, attempted to put the fire out before our colleagues from the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service attended the scene.
“Luckily no one was hurt but we believe this was a deliberate arson attack, and that a man was involved who was witnessed running from the scene in the direction of Devenagh Court.
