Garden shed in Oban deliberately set on fire.
Officers in Oban are appealing for information after an outbuilding was deliberately set on fire.
Officers believe the incident occurred around 4.30am on Saturday, 18 May, 2024, in the rear garden of a house in Creag Bhan Village, Glengallan Road.
The shed and everything in it were completely ruined in the fire.
Enquiries carried out so far have established three young males were seen running off from the location towards Glengallan Road.
Officers are checking for any relevant CCTV images which might assist them identifying the males who ran away.
Detective Constable Colin Oman said: “People may think there is no harm in this type of crime, but it can be extremely harmful. Fire can take hold and spread quickly, especially in this hot, dry weather. Thankfully, no-one was injured but the shed is destroyed, and the house suffered damage from the heat of the fire. I am asking anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident to contact us, if anyone has dash cam or doorbell recording equipment, please check the footage and contact us if your footage could assist our investigation.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 0884 of Saturday 18 May, 2024. Alternatively, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where you can give your information anonymously.
