Appeal issued after arson attack in Co Fermanagh

Police have appealed for information in relation to an arson attack in Co Fermanagh.

The incident left “substantial” damage to a bungalow which was reported by a neighbour.

Police said firefighters alerted them to the fire in the Derrygonnelly area at around 11.10pm on Friday.

“This fire, which we are investigating as arson with intent, left substantial damage to this mid-terrace bungalow,” Sergeant Una McKenna said.

“A neighbour spotted in the fire and called 999.

“Thankfully no one was in the property at the time.

“However, with older people living nearby, it is fortunate the alarm was raised in good time as we could potentially have been dealing with much more serious consequences.”

She added: “We appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time, or who may have relevant information, including dash-cam or other footage, to contact us on 101, quoting reference 1709 13/02/26.”

People have also been advised to report incidents through the PSNI website or by contacting Crimestoppers anonymously.
