 ‘Deliberate’ fire causes extensive damage to County Derry flat

Police are appealing for information following a fire in Limavady last night, Wednesday 5th July.

Detective Inspector Lavery said: “At around 11.30pm we received a report from our colleagues in Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service that a flat was on fire in the Old Distillery Gardens area of the town.

“Thankfully, the flat wasn’t occupied at the time but extensive damage was caused to the property. At this stage, it is believed that ignition was deliberate.

“I am appealing to anyone who may have witnessed anyone suspicious in the area or anyone with CCTV or doorbell footage that could assist with enquiries, to contact police on 101 quoting reference 2170 of 05/07/23.”
