South Belfast: Arson attack treated as racially motivated

An arson attack in south Belfast on Monday is being treated as a racially-motivated hate crime, police have said.

A member of the public informed the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) just after 23:00 BST that a vehicle was on fire on Frenchpark Street.

The occupants of the property were unharmed.

The PSNI said that the fire is believed to have started from two sources.

One is believed to be from a motorcycle outside the living room window of the property, which was deliberately set on fire, destroying the vehicle and burning the windows.

The second fire is believed to have been set underneath a car, damaging the vehicle’s wheels and engine bay.
