A blaze in a flat on Ballymoney’s Charles Street on Christmas night meant two men had to flee through an upstairs window.

Police say it was a ‘terrifying ordeal’, and detectives are now trying to get to the bottom of what happened before the fire was reported at 9.25pm yesterday, December 25th.

Inspector Stephen McCafferty said: "Thankfully, no injuries have been reported in what was a terrifying ordeal for the occupants. The cause of the fire remains under investigation and we would appeal to anyone with information about what happened to call us on 101, quoting reference number 1325 of 25/12/20."
