Antrim house fire being treated as suspected arson, say PSNI

Police say they are treating a fire in Antrim last night as a suspected arson attack.

Detectives are investigating a 'deliberate' fire at a house at Queens Road on September 13th.

No-one was in the house at the time of the fire and there have been no reports of any injuries, police say.

Detective Sergeant Lyttle said: "Police received a report that a house was on fire at around 9.15pm on Sunday evening.

"Fire Service personnel were in attendance upon the arrival of police and extinguished the fire which caused extensive damage to the property.

"Initial enquiries have been conducted and at this stage we are treating the fire as deliberate.
