Police are investigating a suspected petrol bomb attack on a car in Ballymena.
The incident happened in the Nursery Close area of the town in the early hours of Tuesday.
It was reported that a window smashing was heard before the vehicle’s alarm was activated.
A PSNI spokesperson said a bottle was 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,” the spokesperson said.
”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.
”Our enquiries have begun to establish the circumstances of the incident and we would ask anyone who was in the vicinity of Nursery Close or Devenagh Court and noticed anyone acting suspiciously shortly after midnight, to make contact with police on 101 quoting reference number 7 13/08/24.”
