Burning truck ‘deliberately’ driven at house

A burning pick-up truck crashed into the gates of a home in South Ayrshire during a “reckless” act, police have said.

At about 4am on Sunday, the burning Isuzu struck the gates of a house in Foreland, Ballantrae.

Both the property and vehicle were significantly damaged.

The incident is being treated as wilful fire-raising.

Detective Constable Paul Mcroberts, from Ayr CID, said: “This was a deliberate and reckless act, and it is absolutely vital that we find the person responsible.”
