Sgt Neil McGurk said: “Thankfully, this object did not result in the building catching fire, or we would have a far more serious incident to investigate.
“We are, however, treating this matter very seriously and would urge anyone who remembers seeing any suspicious activity around the takeway during the early hours of Friday 18th May to contact police immediately.
“In addition, anyone with information that can help us identify the culprit should also get in touch.”
