Boy, 13, charged over suspicious fire

-

A second teenage boy has been arrested and charged in connection with a large suspicious fire at a bowling club in Fife.

Around 40 firefighte­rs were called to the blaze at Denbeath Bowling Club, Buckhaven, on Wednesday.

The building, which included Denbeath Miners Welfare Institute, was closed in 2013 due to rising maintenanc­e costs. Police Scotland said a 13-year-old boy has now been charged over the incident, which caused “significan­t damage”.
