Two women and a man have escaped injury following a gun attack in Coleraine. 

Police received a report about a window being smashed at a house in Laburnum Place at around 10.25pm last night. 

When officers examined the scene, it was determined the damage had been caused by a gun shot. 

Detective Inspector McKenna said: "Three people, two women and a man, were inside the property when the attack occurred. 

"Thankfully, none of them were injured, but they have been left shocked and distressed.

"This could so easily have resulted in serious injury, or worse. The actions of whoever was behind this sinister attack were beyond reckless. 

"We are continuing with our enquiries today and we are working to establish a motive. I am appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time and who saw any suspicious activity, or who knows anything about this sinister attack, to call our detectives in Coleraine on 101 and quote reference number 1700 of 31/01/21."
