The RUC is treating as suspicious a fire which destroyed four cars and damaged two others parked at the back of the parochial house in Dungannon, Co Tyrone, on Tuesday night.

Forensic scientists were examining the burnt-out vehicles for clues last night.

An RUC spokeswoman said they were "exploring all avenues" as to a possible motive, but believed that the fire had been started maliciously.
