Damage has been caused to a Belfast commercial property in what police are investigating as an arson attack.

It happened just after nine o'clock on Saturday night - when a white Peugeot Partner van was driven at the premises in North Street in the city centre.

Police say a man then got out of the van and set it on fire.

He made off from the scene, running down Unity Walk.

Police are appealing for information.
