A ârecklessâ arson attack at the home of a serving Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) officer in Co Antrim has been condemned.
Three cars were set alight at the property at around 1.45am on Thursday.
The fire also caused scorch damage to the house which the officer, his wife and daughter were asleep in at the time. The three were not injured but the episode was described as a âterrifying ordealâ for the family.
The PSNI said it was âkeeping an open mindâ in terms of the motivation for the incident. Det Chief Insp Dunny McCubbin said it was a âcompletely reckless attack which could have had serious consequencesâ.
