POLICE PROBE PETROL BOMB ATTACK ON HOUSE

DETECTIVES are investigating after a petrol bomb was thrown at a house on Saturday night, February 20.

It was reported to police at around 9.55 pm, that around five minutes earlier a petrol bomb had been thrown at the front of the property in the Crossglebe area of Cookstown.
