A terrified Scots woman has told of the moment she fled to safety with her family after her car was torched by thugs outside her home in Glasgow.
Police have launched a probe after eight vehicles were targeted on several streets in Penilee and Hillington between around 4am and 5am on Thursday January 26. Officers have since confirmed they are treating the fires, which took place on Clavens Road, Tweedsmuir Road, Penneld Road and Craigmuir Road, as wilful as they appealed for information.
Nicola Elliot, who owns one of the torched cars on Clavens Road, says she grabbed her 10-year-old daughter and their pets and fled after hearing the explosion outside. The car was parked near the front door of the property and the 37-year-old cleaner was worried the flames would catch on to the home.
