Van torched outside West Lothian home as cops probe ‘suspicious’ blaze

A police probe has been launched after a van was deliberately torched in West Lothian.

Emergency services were called to the scene on Woodhill Road in Blackridge at around 12.10am on Friday, April 9.

Detectives are appealing for anyone who saw anything suspicious in the surrounding area around the time of the fire to get in touch.

They are especially keen to speak with anyone who may have dashcam footage in the area.

Detective Constable Laura Hanlon, of Livingston CID, said: “I am asking anyone who may have seen anything suspicious or anyone acting suspiciously in the area around the time of the incident to get in touch.

“In addition, anyone who was driving in the Woodhill Road area around the time of the incident and may have dash-cam footage that would help with our investigation is asked to call us.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0075 of 9 April, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
