Detectives are appealing for information and witnesses after a petrol bomb was reported to have been thrown at a property in the Glenvara Drive area of the town in the early hours of this morning, Friday 5th August.

Detective Sergeant Galbraith said: “Shortly after 3am, it was reported that the occupants of the house in Coleraine’s Glenvara Drive were asleep in bed when they heard a loud bang from downstairs.

“A petrol bomb was found alight in the living room, and the residents managed to extinguish the fire themselves, before colleagues from the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service arrived at the scene.

“The device had been thrown through the window, resulting in damage to the furniture, floor, and roof.

“Fortunately, the fire was contained and did not spread to any other parts of the house, or any neighbouring properties, and there was no requirement to evacuate any other residents living nearby.

“Colleagues from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service also attended the incident, however, thankfully, there were no reports of any injuries.

“However, this reckless attack could very well have resulted in serious consequences.

“Our enquiries into this report, which we are treating as arson, are continuing, and we are appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time and saw any suspicious activity, or who has any information which may assist, to call 101, and quote reference number 151 of 05/08/22.”
