Their front cabins were completely destroyed.

Leading Senior Constable Melissa Seach said police were still keen to speak to any witnesses or anyone that may have seen any suspicious activity in the area.

A Brite Industries employee, who works in Belfast Street opposite where the trucks were parked, assumed the drivers all lived in the area.

“It’s an unusually wide street, I just thought they must all live nearby,” he said.

He said the trucks had been parked there for a few days.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
