Police probe after van crashes outside petrol station

A van crashed outside a petrol station before being set alight early on Sunday morning.

Police are investigating the incident in Whiteabbey and are appealing for any witnesses.

Sergeant Moutray said: “We received a report at around 5.45am this morning that a white LDV van had crashed into a sign outside a petrol station at the bottom of Station Road in Whiteabbey, causing substantial damage.

"Following the collision the van continued on towards Whiteabbey Village where it was then set alight and abandoned.

"Our enquiries are at a very early stage and I would ask anyone who was travelling in the area this morning and who may have seen the van or may have captured footage of the van on dash-cam to contact officers at Newtownabbey on 101 quoting reference number 607 04/08/19."
