Appeal Issued After Cars Set On Fire In L'Derry
Police have launched an investigation after several cars were set alight in Co L'Derry.
A white BMW 3 series and a Renault Clio were set on fire in the Garrymore Place area at around 1.30am on Thursday, 17 May.
Garage doors at the house also went of fire and scorch damage was caused to a neighbouring garage.
The Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service (NIFRS) attended the scene and it is being treated as arson.
A PSNI spokesperson said: "As part of our investigation, we would like to talk to two males who were seen in the area, close to the address, in a dark-coloured car. It was reported that they threw liquid over one of the cars and set it alight before driving away at speed.
"The car was then seen travelling from Garrymore Place, down Clonmeen Drive and onto the Temple Road.
"If you saw anything or have any information that could help us as we make further enquiries into this incident, please contact police on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 86 of 17/5/18."
