Lanarkshire Police are appealing for information after two cars were set on fire in Shotts.
The first took place on Monday, July 4, when police were called to a report of a Ford Mondeo car on fire outside a property in Nevis Place. Not long after, police were called yet again to another car fire, this time to an Audi Q3 car on fire outside a property in Herbison Crescent.

Both fires were quickly extinguished by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and nobody was injured as a result, and extensive enquiries have so far revealed the fires were started deliberately.
At this stage, detectives do not believe the two incidents are linked, however they are keeping an open mind in their investigation.
Detective Constable Chris Smith, of Wishaw CID, said: "Thankfully nobody has been injured as a result of these reckless acts.
"While we are not linking these incidents at this stage, we are keeping an open mind about whether they are connected.
"I would ask anyone who was in the area at the time, and who may have seen anything suspicious, to get in touch.
"I am also keen to hear from anyone who may have dashcam footage that could assist our investigation.
"Anyone with any information is asked to contact Police Scotland via 101 quoting incident number 3846 of Monday, 4 July, 2022.
"Alternatively, information can be passed anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
