Police are looking to trace two men after a car was targeted in a deliberate fire attack outside a house in Glasgow.

The incident took place at the property in Summerston in the early hours of Wednesday.

Emergency services were called to the scene on Arrochar Drive at around 12.30am when a Volkswagen T-Roc was set a blaze.

The vehicle was extensively damaged in the attack, however no injuries have been reported.

Investigating officers have warned that it could have been much worse as they appeal for witnesses to come forward.

They are now looking to trace the men who were seen on motorbikes shortly before the fire was set.

The suspects were seen running from the scene a short time later.

Detective Constable Kevin Ford said: “Luckily no one was injured as a result of this incident, however it could have been much more serious.

“Two men were seen arriving in Arrochar Drive on an electric bike or motorbike shortly before the fire was set.

“They ran off a short time later and we are appealing for any information to help us trace these two suspects as soon as possible.”
