Police are hunting a gang of masked firebugs who deliberately torched three cars before fleeing the scene during a late night attack. Emergency services were called to the car park outside a Travelodge on Kings Inch Road in Braehead, Renfrew, shortly before 1am on Tuesday, September 27.
A Kia Sorrento, a Mitsubishi Shogun and a Toyota Hiace were found ablaze with Scottish Fire and Rescue Service crews swiftly tackling the flames. No one was injured but all three vehicles were badly damaged and remain at the scene behind a police cordon.
The Toyota appears to have collided with the wall of a building before the front end caught fire. The side door of the motor lies open and appears to be filled with tools. The Kia has also been extensively damaged by the blaze with the back and side windows smashed.
