Detectives are investigating after a vehicle was destroyed in an arson attack in Co Derry in the early hours of Monday, March 10.

A Landrover Discovery was located ablaze outside a property in the Millstone area of Portstewart around 1.30am, following a report made to the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service.

The attack is not being treated as a hate crime.

Detective Inspector Lavery said: “Officers received a call from our colleagues at NIFRS shortly after 1.50am, as this appeared to have been a deliberate attack on the vehicle.

“On police arrival, NIFRS were present and attempting to control the fire however, this took some time given the extent of the blaze.

“Luckily no one was injured but this was a reckless act, and detectives would like to hear from anyone with information, especially from those who were in the area and who may have captured any footage around the time of the incident, to call us on 101, quoting reference 68 10/03/25.

“Information can also be provided via http://www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/

“Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at http://crimestoppers-uk.org/ .”
