North Down drug gangs feud: Donaghadee petrol bomb attack
Police are linking a petrol bomb attack in Donaghadee last night (Wednesday) to an ongoing drug gangs feud.
Detective Sergeant Bell said: “Shortly before 9.50pm on Wednesday 29th March, officers received a report that a house in the Beechfield Drive area had been petrol bombed. The fire was extinguished and thankfully, there was no one in the property at the time.
“Enquiries are continuing, and at this stage, it is believed that this incident is linked to an ongoing feud between two rival drug gangs in the Ards and North Down area. We are following a number of lines of enquiry.
“I am appealing to anyone who was in the area this evening and saw anything suspicious, or anyone who may have any information which may assist us with our enquiries, to call 101, quoting reference number 2055 of 29/03/23.”
