Suspicious boat fires at Boreen Point

Police are investigating two suspicious boat fires at Boreen Point overnight.

Around 1.30am two 5m mullet trawlers anchored in waist deep water approximately 20m from shore and 60m apart were destroyed by fire.

The distance between the vessels indicates the fires were independent of each other.

A crime scene has been declared and investigations continue.
