Three cars have been torched in a “reckless” arson attack outside Irish League side Larne FC’s stadium.
Police are appealing for information on the incident in the Inver Road area in the early hours of this morning.
Inspector McClelland said: “We received a report from our colleagues at Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service at 1.25am that the vehicles had been destroyed by the fire.
“Officers attended the scene and were advised that ignition was believed to have been deliberate.
“We are investigating this as arson, and would to anyone with information to contact us on 101, quoting reference number 60 of 27/09/24.”
Alliance East Antrim MLA Danny Donnelly condemned the attack.
Mr Donnelly said: “The kind of behaviour demonstrated here is reckless, irresponsible and downright dangerous.
“Going out, deliberately intending to inflict harm on the community and damage property, is appalling and must be unreservedly condemned.
“We can only be glad that no one was hurt, and I want to thank the emergency services for taking such swift and effective action in response.
“We have been in contact with Larne FC to offer our sympathies and are liaising with police as to how we go forward.”
