Glasgow police hunt four young teens after trailer fire causes £80k worth of damage

Detectives in Glasgow are appealing for information after a trailer was set alight in a yard in Dalmarnock, causing around £80,000 worth of damage.

The incident took place on Swanston Street overnight between Thursday and Friday. The trailer contained a section of a fairground ride, which has been significantly damaged as part of the fire.

Extensive enquiries have established that four youths were seen in the area around the time of the incident. They are described as being two boys and two girls, all around 14 or 15-years-old.

Efforts to identify them and establish the circumstances remain ongoing.

Detective Constable Ross McGill, from Shettleston CID, said: “This fire caused a great deal of damage to the trailer and its contents, although it’s fortunate it didn’t spread even further and cause more destruction.

“We are appealing for anyone with information to come forward. We’re also keen to speak with the four young people who were in the area, so would appeal for them to come forward or for anyone who can identify them to do so.

“If you believe you can assist our enquiries, please call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 0155 of 24 June. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, if you wish to remain anonymous.”
