A cabin at an outdoor recreation centre in Newcastle has been completely destroyed in what police are treating as an arson attack.
The fire broke out just before 7pm last night (Saturday). No one was injured.
Police are appealing for information following the incident at the outdoor recreation and residential centre in the Donard Park area.
Sergeant McIlveen said the fire was at a log cabin, used as a shelter or relaxation-type area.
“Officers attended, along with colleagues from Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service.
“Unfortunately the cabin has been completely destroyed by the fire, which is believed to have been started deliberately.
“Thankfully, there are no reports of injuries and no damage to the nearby main property.
“We are appealing to anyone with information to contact us on 101, quoting reference number 1541 of 22/02/20,” he added.
