Police appeal for information after arson attack causes 'substantial damage' to bungalow in Co Fermanagh
Police are investigating an arson attack which they say has left “substantial damage” to a mid-terrace bungalow in Co Fermanagh.
In a statement, police say they were contacted by colleagues from Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service reporting a fire in the Rosanarick Close area of Derrygonnelly at 11.10pm on Friday night (February 13).
Sergeant Una McKenna said: “This fire, which we are investigating as arson with intent, left substantial damage to this mid-terrace bungalow.
“A neighbour spotted in the fire and called 999. Thankfully no one was in the property at the time. However, with older people living nearby, it is fortunate the alarm was raised in good time as we could potentially have been dealing with much more serious consequences.”
Sergeant McKenna continued: “We appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time, or who may have relevant information, including dash-cam or other footage, to contact us on 101, quoting reference 1709 13/02/26.”
