Detective Constable David Williamson at Coatbridge CID said: "Setting fires deliberately is extremely reckless and dangerous and thankfully this time no one was injured.

"I'd like to speak to anyone who was in the vicinity of Hawthorn Drive around this time and may have seen a person or persons acting suspiciously.

"I'd also like to speak to the occupant or occupants of a red coloured car that stopped nearby. This car has been captured on CCTV and I urge them to contact police immediately.
