Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue crews put out the blaze and it is understood that a total of five cars have been destroyed.
Inspector Michael Simpson said: “Those responsible have shown no regard for the safety of the local community in carrying out this reckless act. Regardless of the motivation their actions are only increasing tensions and causing fear.
“I would appeal for anyone with influence to use it to prevent incidents like this happening again.”
