Audi set on fire on Airdrie house driveway as cops begin investigation on attack

Coatbridge police are appealing for information after a car was deliberately set on fire in Airdrie at the weekend.

Emergency services attended the incident on Craigneuk’s Hawthorn Drive at around 2.45am on Sunday.

The red Audi A3 was completely burnt out and police are treating the incident as wilful.

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.
