Two arrested in connection with Belfast arson

Two men were arrested today in connection with an attempt to burn down a house.

Petrol was poured over the front of the house at Cedar Drive in Knocknagoney, Belfast, and set on fire.

The front door and garage door of the property were badly fire damaged but the flames burned out before taking a hold.

Police said there were a number of people in the house at the time, who all escaped injury.

The suspects, men in their late teens or early 20s, were arrested later.
