Three Cars Burnt Out In Co Antrim
Three cars have been destroyed in a suspected arson attack in Co Antrim.
The vehicles were burnt out in the Stiles estate area in the early hours of Friday morning, 18 November.
Alliance Antrim Councillor Neil Kelly condemned those responsible.
He said: "This is happening too often in our town - it needs to stop and stop now.
"Those responsible have no regard for property or people and their deplorable actions are putting lives at risk. Only the quick response of the Fire Service stopped the flames from reaching nearby homes.
"I have contacted the neighbourhood PSNI about this incident and would urge anyone with information regarding those responsible to give it to police immediately."
