Investigation launched after double fire-raising incidents in Lanarkshire town sees vehicle torched

Police in Cumbernauld are asking for help after two incidents of wilful fire-raising.

The first incident happened on Sunday (November 13) around 9am, when cops received reports of a man attempting to set fire to a vehicle.

That was witnessed on the town’s Burns Road. The second incident happened in the same location later that night.

However, that was successful with a separate vehicle deliberately set on fire around 8.15pm.

Now detecitves investigating the incident are appealing for help from the public.

A police source told us: “The man seen in the area at the time of both incidents is described as in his late 30s, around 5ft 10in tall with dark brown messy hair and dark facial hair.

“He was wearing a black hooded jumper, black bomber style jacket and black trousers.

“A black Skoda Octavia car was also seen at the scene of both incidents.”

Anyone with any information or CCTV footage from dashcams or doorbells, is asked to contact police on 101.

Information can be left anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
