Detectives in Newry are appealing for information following a suspected arson attack at Church Avenue in Dundrum in the early hours of Sunday, 24 December 2017.
Detective Sergeant Mark Crothers said: “Officers received a report of a fire to the rear of houses at around 00.30am.
“The fire, which is believed to have been started deliberately at a shed and then spread to nearby oil tanks, caused substantial damage and forced a number of residents to be evacuated from their homes for a time.
“We would appeal to anyone who noticed any suspicious activity in the area, or who has any information which could help with our investigation, to contact detectives at Newry on 101 quoting reference number 49 of 24/12/17.”
