A manhunt has been launched after a car was smashed into a beauty shop window and then set on fire.

Scandal Hair & Beauty, on Glasgow’s Broomknowes Road, was targeted at around 3.30am on Wednesday.

Police said the silver Toyota Hilux 4×4 was deliberately driven into the window.

The male driver then got out and set it on fire. He was last seen heading in the direction of Hornshill Street.

In a statement on Facebook, a spokesperson for the shop apologised for having to cancel appointments “due to unforeseen circumstances”.

Detective constable Paul Friel said: “Our enquiries are at an early stage but the man we are looking to trace was wearing a dark hooded top and dark jogging bottoms.

“The shop was empty at the time, so thankfully no one was injured.

“I am appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time to come forward, especially motorists who may have captured the incident on dashcam.”
