Police in Northern Ireland have arrested two men in connection with reports of an attempted arson attack on an Orange Hall last night.

The PSNI said that shortly after 1am, a silver-coloured car was seen driving away from the hall in the Tullymoan Road area of Sion Mills.

It appeared an attempt had been made to set the hall on fire but that it was unsuccessful, a spokeswoman for the PSNI said.

Police stopped a similar vehicle a short time later and arrested two male occupants who are currently helping police with their inquiries.
