An arson attack at a house in Co Antrim is being treated as a "racially motivated hate crime."
Police said that it was reported at around 00:45 am on Friday, July 8, that a tyre had been placed at the front door of a house in the Larne Street area of Ballymena and set alight.
One of the occupants smelt smoke and alerted the other members of the family who were asleep at the time. They were able to escape from the rear door of the house.
