Police in Armagh are investigating a petrol bomb attack on a house at Alexander Avenue in the early hours of Sunday 10th September.
Sergeant Gwyneth Buchanan said: “Police received a report at around 00.45am on Sunday morning, that a brick had been thrown through the front window of the house followed by a petrol bomb, which ignited in the living room. A male occupant of the house was able to quickly extinguish the resulting fire which left scorch damage inside the room. There were no reports of any injuries. A number of men, dressed in dark clothing, were seen leaving the area on foot following the incident.”
