A CAR has been deliberately driven into a shop window and then set on fire.
Police are hunting the male driver of the silver Toyota Hilux 4x4 after the incident on Glasgow's Broomknowes Road at 3.30am this morning.
The driver set the vehicle alight before fleeing in the direction of Hornshill Street.
Detective Constable Paul Friel of Maryhill CID said: "Our inquiries 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.
"Anyone who has any information is asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0310 of Wednesday September 23."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
