Police hunt vandals who torched three cars worth over £150K

Police in Lanarkshire are appealing for witnesses following a wilful fire raising incident involving vehicles in Hamilton.

The incident happened around 1am on Thursday, September 19, in the Hamilton Park South area of the town when three high value cars were deliberately set on fire.

Detective Constable Craig Jolly, of Lanarkshire CID, said: "The fire posed a real risk to life. Fortunately the Fire Service was able to deal with the incident and no one was injured.

“Three high value vehicles, two BMWs and a Mercedes, worth collectively over £150,000, were involved and we are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen suspicious activity in the early hours of the morning that could help with our inquiries.

“Anyone with information can call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 0180 of 19 September, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
