Detective Sergeant Ronnie Douglas, Lanarkshire CID, said today: “Officers have still to determine the reason the Tucson was deliberately set on fire.
“ However, the fact is that if a neighbour had not seen the flames, then the fire could not only have affected the three cars as it did, but could have due to the wind that night, spread to nearby homes.
“We are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen people hanging about the cars or the back of the houses between 11.20 pm and 11.30pm.
