A manhunt has been launched after multiple Scots fires set by vandals sparked investigations.
Police are probing several cars being deliberately set alight in the Scottish Borders recently.
The spate of wilful fires have happened in Walkerburn between Friday 23 July and Monday 16 August 2021.
About 4am on August 2, a blue Citroen Nemo was found burnt out outside a flat on Tweedholm Avenue East.
Then on Friday at around 1.30am a red Ford Fusion sustained damage after being set on fire outside a flat also on Tweedholm Avenue East.
Later that day at around 8pm a bin and items within a shed were set alight outside the local village hall.
No damage to the hall however the bin and shed suffered fire damage and will need to be replaced and repaired.
Then finally, on Monday, 16 August 2021, a report was received that a white Ford Fiesta sustained minor fire damage whilst parked in a car park in Tweedvale Mills West, Jubilee Road.
Constable John Money, Scottish Borders Community Action Team, Peebles said: "Although there has been significant damage to two of the vehicles, thankfully no one has been injured, however, our concern, apart from the crime itself, is the fact that if any of the fires had spread to homes for example, then the outcome could have been much worse.
"Officers have been carrying out enquiries with regard to all the fires, however, no one has yet been traced.
"We cannot link the fires yet.
"Walkerburn is a small village and if you have any information that may help our investigation then please call. I am keen to hear from anyone who may have a door bell camera, private CCTV or dash-cam footage from the area, especially between Friday 13, August and Monday 16 August."
