The dramatic images were posted and shared on social media, including a Bishopbriggs Facebook community group.

The post stated: “We have to find the people who done it.

“The guy was driving a light blue Ford Fiesta MK7. The front passenger headlight was out, therefore only one light was working.

“Now to the passenger - she was female with blonde hair. Both youngish in age”.

A Scottish Fire spokesman told the Herald yesterday: “We were alerted at 12.38am on October 29 to reports of a car on fire in Bishopbriggs. Operations Control mobilised one fire appliance to the town’s Cedar Road, where firefighters were met by a well-developed fire.

“Crews extinguished the fire and left the scene after making area safe. No casualties.”
