Detectives are appealing for information following a fire at a house in Damascus Street, south Belfast, in the early hours of Saturday.
Detective Sergeant McCallum said: “We received a report of the fire just after 5am. Officers attended, along with colleagues from Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service, who extinguished the blaze.
“It is believed the fire was started deliberately, and has caused significant damage to the property. The house was unoccupied and, thankfully, no one was hurt. The result, however, could have been very different.
“We are appealing to anyone with information, or who noticed any suspicious activity, to contact us on 101 quoting reference number 230 of 28/08/21.”
