The police are investigating an arson attack on a house in Triq l-Imsagar, Attard, yesterday morning.

The police said they were informed that the door of the house was on fire at about 7.15. It turned out that someone had set the door alight when no one was inside the house.

Members of the fire section of the Civil Protection Department were summoned but the fire had already been controlled by neighbours.

The police said no structural damage to property was caused apart from the door and the immediate area.

Magistrate Joseph Apap Bologna appointed a team of court experts to help in an inquiry.
