"Thankfully it did not spread to any other parts of the house, or any neighbouring properties. However, some damage was caused to the door window pane.
"There were no reports of any injuries, although this was a reckless attack which could have resulted in serious consequences.
“The device has now been recovered for forensic examination and our investigation is underway.
