Police have warned a petrol bomb thrown inside a flat in Ballymena could have killed.
No one was inside the property on Wakehurst Park in Ballymena when it was targeted at 12.15am this morning.
However detectives say the fire could have easily spread to neighbouring homes.
Detective Sergeant Crothers said: “We received a report of a fire at a flat at approximately 12.15am.
“A number of windows had been broken and a petrol bomb had been thrown inside.
“Luckily, there was no one home at the time of the incident.
“This fire could have resulted in serious injuries, even loss of life and could easily have spread to the adjoining properties.
“We are treating this as arson with intent to endanger life and I am asking anyone with information, or who noticed any suspicious activity around that time, to contact us on 101 quoting reference number 26 of 06/07/21.”
