Two men arrested over suspected arson attack on elderly couple's Cork home
Two men have been arrested in connection with a suspected arson attack that left an elderly couple's home extensively damaged in Cork last month. The men, both aged in their 30s, were detained during an operation carried out in the Dublin area on Tuesday, May 6. Detectives from Cork searched two residential properties in the capital as part of the ongoing investigation. The men are currently being held at a Garda station in Cork City under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984. The arrests relate to a fire at a home in the Dublin Pike area of Ballincrokig, Cork City, on the night of April 24.
