AN investigation is underway after two properties were set alight on the same day.
Police were called to reports of a fire started at a flat in Irvinestown, Fermanagh at around 6.40pm on January 5.
Earlier that day a caravan was targeted in the same town.
“It was reported shortly before 6.40pm on Sunday evening, that an unknown person had forced entry to a unoccupied flat in the Fairgreen Street area and started a fire in the kitchen of the property, causing smoke damage throughout the flat,” the PSNI’s Detective Inspector Michael Winters said.

Noone was injured in either incident, the police force has confirmed.
“We are currently investigating a link between both incidents,” they added.
