The blaze was reported at around 10pm, and officers say thousands of pounds worth of damage was caused.

"Police along with NIFRS attended the scene and after the fire was extinguished, the damage caused to the mobiles was discovered.
"This crime has caused thousands of pounds worth of damage and we are asking for the public’s assistance in bringing the perpetrators to justice."
