Two women in their 20s were assaulted and a petrol bomb thrown at a house by five masked men in Lurgan last night (Sunday).
Scorch damage was caused to windows at the front of the house at Headington Manor. Damage was also reportedly caused to the car parked outside.
Detectives in Lurgan are appealing for information following the incident which occurred around 8:20pm.
Chief Inspector Jon Burrows said police received a report that two women had entered a property in Headington Manor earlier in the evening, around 7:30pm.
“It was reported two women, both aged in their 20s, were assaulted. One of the women suffered facial injuries while the other sustained minor leg injuries.
“It was reported a short time later, around 8:40pm, approximately five masked men attempted to force entry to the house. It was reported that a petrol bomb was thrown at the property. There were no reports of any injuries,” he said.
Police are appealing for information.
“I want to appeal to anyone who was in the area around the time either of these incidents were reported to us and saw any suspicious activity to get in touch. I would also appeal to anyone who knows anything about either of these incidents to call detectives in Lurgan on the non emergency number 101, quoting reference number 1145 of 10//02/19,” he added.
Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.
