A man has been arrested in connection with a petrol bomb attack on a home in Portadown.
It happened early this morning, around midnight in the Granville Road area of the town.
PSNI Sergeant Robert McMurran said: "A man and woman inside the house at the time were left shaken but uninjured. Some scorch damage was caused to the property.
"The arrested man was questioned and subsequently released on bail pending further inquiries."
Upper Bann MLA Doug Beattie has condemned the "stupid and dangerous" attack.
Speaking to Q Radio's Iveren McCallion earlier, he said the outcome could have been so much worse.
"To petrol bomb a house, particularly a terraced house in the dark of the night where that fire could take hold, it could affect other houses, it could endanger children who are sleeping in their beds... it's absolutely pathetic."
