POLICE are investigating two linked cases of deliberate fires in the Borders.
The incidents of wilful fire-raising took place in Peebles in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The first happened at around 2.30am in Peebles High Street where a wheelie bin was set on fire.
Officers were then called to Peebles Swimming Baths in Port Brae following a report of a second bin being set on fire and spreading to the building.
Local police are treating the incidents as suspicious.
Detective Inspector Ben Leathes, of Police Scotland’s CID, said: “Thankfully no-one has been injured as a result of these fires.
“Although this happened in the early hours of the morning, we are appealing to anyone who may have any information to come forward and speak to police.
“I would ask if you were in the area at the time or noticed anyone acting suspiciously that you get in touch with officers.”
