Petrol bombs have been separately thrown at a house and another placed inside a car in Newry on Tuesday morning.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland said three men approached a white BMW car parked in Helen’s Terrace shortly after 00:20 BST.
One man smashed a window of the car and another man set alight an object and placed it into the car.
The PSNI said the car was “completely burnt out” following the incident.
One of the men made off towards Pigtail Avenue and the two other men headed towards Clanrye Avenue.
Det Sgt Lewis said: “Two men then exited a property in the Clanrye Avenue area upon hearing the car window smashed and approached the two men.
“It was reported that one of the men threw an unconfirmed fluid over one of the occupants, while the other man throws a petrol bomb at the front door of the property.”
The occupants were not injured but they were both left badly shaken.
