Appeal after fire-raising at industrial yard in Broxburn

Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a fire-raising incident at an industrial estate in Broxburn.

The fire was set in waste and recycling material stored at a yard at the Greendykes Industrial Estate in the town.

The fire was started sometime between 5.30pm and 8.10pm on Thursday, 23 September.

The fire was extinguished by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and nobody was injured.

Detective Sergeant John Bowerbank said: “The fire was contained to the waste stored at the yard but the consequences could have been far more serious if it had spread.

“We are appealing to anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity around the area on Thursday to come forward, particularly if you may have dashcam footage.

“Anyone with information can call 101, quoting incident 3360 of 23 September, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
