Police are appealing for information after a car was deliberately set alight outside a house in Onthank, Kilmarnock in the early hours of Thursday, 2 June, 2022.
Around 2am police were called after a white Kia Venga was found to be on fire outside a house in Newlands Place. There was no one in the car at the time. Scottish Fire and Rescue attended and extinguished the fire which is being treated by police as wilful.
Detective Constable Ross Brierley, Kilmarnock CID, said:
"The car was parked in the drive of the house when it was set alight. Thankfully the fire did not spread to the house and the occupants were not injured, however, the car has been extensively damaged.
"Officers are carrying out door to door enquiries and checking local CCTV in the area but would appeal to anyone who may have seen people acting suspiciously around the vehicle or in the area between 1.45 am and 2am to get in touch. We would ask that if you have any private CCTV or doorbell cameras, that the footage is checked just in case anything relevant has been captured.
