It’s reported the car was driven around the area before being burned.
Councillor Duffy said: “Once again the people of this area have to put up with this very dangerous criminal activity.
“Local residents have told me those responsible were aged in their mid teens and made off in the direction of Curragh Walk and Carrabane Walk.
“I would appeal if anyone in the community knows who these culprits’ are to bring their names forward so they can be brought before the courts.”
