Police are appealing for information following two petrol bomb attacks in the early hours of this morning (Thursday).

The incidents occurred in Killyman and Fivemiletown.

The first report of a car on fire was received by police at around 3.25am. It was in the Spout Road area of Fivemiletown.

A window of the vehicle had been broken and bottles containing an accelerant were discovered inside.

The second report was received at approximately 3.40am, of another car on fire in the Epsey Park area of Killyman.

Officers along with colleagues from the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service attended and discovered a petrol bomb inside.

It is reported that serious damage had been caused to the vehicle.

Police Sergeant Fletcher said: “We are treating both incidents as arson. However, we do not believe them to be linked and I am appealing to anyone who may have witnessed either attack or to anyone with CCTV, door-bell or other footage that could assist enquiries, to contact police on 101 quoting reference 108 of 30/05/24.”
