A man has escaped injury after a suspected petrol bomb was thrown at a home in Coleraine.
Detectives are appealing for information about the incident, in the Loughanhill Park area of the town during the early hours of Thursday.
A PSNI spokesman said: “Shortly before 1am, we received a report that the occupant of a property heard a loud bang outside.
“He opened his front door and discovered an item alight which he was able to extinguish using water.
“Thankfully, it did not spread to any other parts of the house or any neighbouring properties.
“However, some damage was caused to the door window pane.
“There were no reports of any injuries, although this was a reckless attack which could have resulted in serious consequences.
“The device has now been recovered for forensic examination and our investigation is underway.
“I would appeal to anyone who was in the Loughanhill Park area during this time, and who witnessed anything or has video footage of this incident, to contact police on 101 quoting reference 103 of August 11 2022.”
