Detectives are appealing for information following a report of a petrol bomb incident which occurred at the Helen’s Terrace area of Newry on Tuesday 13th August.

Detective Sergeant Lewis said: “Shortly after 00:20am, it was reported to police that three men approached a white BMW car parked in the area. It was reported that one man smashed a window of the vehicle and another man set alight an object and placed it into the car. One man made off towards Pigtail Avenue, as two of the men head towards Clanrye Avenue.  The vehicle is completely burnt out following the incident.

“Two men then exit a property in the Clanrye Avenue area upon hearing the car window smashed and approached the two men. It was reported that one of the men threw an unconfirmed fluid over one of the occupants, while the other man throws a petrol bomb at the front door of the property. Neither of the occupants were injured during the incident, but were left badly shaken.

“Enquiries are continuing to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident and police would appeal to anyone with any information to contact detectives on 101, quoting reference number 20 13/08/24. Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.”
