Man arrested after 5G mast fire

A man in his 40s has been arrested in west Belfast on suspicion of arson after a fire at a 5G mast.

PSNI officers attended the scene on Sunday night, along with colleagues from the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service who were able to extinguish the blaze.

Detective Inspector McAnee said: "This is just one of a number of 5G masts that have been set on fire in the area recently. Aside from the significant social and economic impact these attacks are having on the local community, the act of setting fire to large electrical equipment is extremely reckless and dangerous. Those responsible are putting themselves and members of the public at serious risk.”
