Cops hunt firebugs after early morning River Leven boat blaze sinks cruiser

A boat was sunk after an early-morning blaze in Balloch.

Police are looking for witness after the fire on the boat which was moored at River Leven Moorings on Pier Road.

Cops say the incident happened around 00.30am and Scottish Fire and Rescue Service attended and the fire was extinguished.

However, the 33ft cruiser sank in the River Leven.

Detective Inspector Andy Doherty, CID, Police Scotland, said: “We believe this fire was started deliberately and are appealing for anyone who may have information or who may have seen anyone hanging around the River Leven Moorings either late on Friday evening or very early Saturday morning, to come forward."
