Police are appealing for information after a car was deliberately set on fire in Paisley.
The incident happened around 11.30pm on Sunday, July 20, at Blackstoun Oval in the town. The blaze was put out by members of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
Detective constable Barry Gourley, of Police Scotland, said: 'Fortunately, no one was injured.
'The fire is being treated as wilful and we are asking anyone who has information that could assist with our ongoing enquiries to get in touch.
'Please check any private CCTV or dash-cam footage that you might have and make contact if you find anything that could help.'
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 3934 of Sunday, July 20, or make a call anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
The incident comes just two days after a Jeep was torched in a Paisley street. A police probe is underway after the vehicle was set alight around 11.35pm on Friday, July 18, in Hartfield Terrace.
Detectives now want to speak to anyone who may be able to assist officers with the investigation. They are hoping residents may have CCTV footage of what happened.
It's also thought motorists may have captured something significant on dash-cams.
