Three cars set alight in early-hours arson attack: Police appeal for information
Police have appealed for information after three cars were set alight in north Belfast in the early hours of this morning.
The incident on Cupar Way happened at around 2.30am, the perpetrators using accelerant to set one of the vehicles on fire. The blaze then spread to two other cars parked next to it.
One car was completely gutted as a result of the fire, with extensive damage caused to the other vehicles. No one was injured and police are probing the arson attack.
According to police, a man was seen pouring accelerant onto one of the cars before setting it alight. He then fled on foot in the direction of Shankill Road.
The PSNI’s Inspector Miller said: “Enquiries are ongoing and anyone who was in the area at the time and saw any suspicious activity, and in particular anyone who may have any dash-cam or other footage, is asked to contact police on 101, quoting reference number 84 19/10/26.”
