POLICE are investigating after a car was deliberately set on fire outside the home of Labour MSP Anas Sarwar.
Firefighters tackled the flames but the car was burned out and suffered substantial damage.
Police sources told the Daily Record they are probing the incident which took place on Saturday night in Glasgow's southside.
The source said: “The car had been reported as stolen."
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland confirmed they were treating the incident as “wilful” and inquiries are continuing.
She said: “We received a report of a car alight on Saturday 28 November outside an address in Glasgow.
“It is being treated as wilful and inquiries are continuing.”
It’s not known if Sarwar and his family were at home at the time.
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!
