Detectives are appealing for information following a petrol bomb attack in Co Derry in the early hours of Friday, August 11.

Detective Inspector Lavery said: “Just after 1.40 am, police received a report that a petrol bomb had been lit and thrown through the front window of a property in the Laburnum Place area of Coleraine.

“When officers attended, the fire had been extinguished.
