FURY AT FIREBALL ATTACK ON CAR
Pregnant mum‘s plea over yobs
A pregnant mum has called on people in a Rutherglen scheme to out those who petrol bombed her car.
Stephanie McLaren, who is five months pregnant and mum to a seven-year-old boy, took to social media to vent her anger at the fire set deliberately in Springhall.
Stephanie’s Volkswagen Scirocco was parked outside her home on Ross Place when it was reportedly petrol bombed on Sunday night.
No one was hurt in the incident but two suspects, wearing all black, were seen fleeing the area immediately after the fire took hold.
Stephanie vented her anger on Facebook, writing: “To the scumbag rat that decided to petrol bomb my car big WELL DONE... please come tell your purpose. I’m five months pregnant and live such a boring life.”
She added: “Please share this, all they have done is take a car from a wee boy that needs it for his football and me for my work.”
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “Around 11.35pm a white Volkswagen
Scirocco was deliberately set alight outside a house in Ross Place, Rutherglen.
“No one was in the car at the time.
“Two men were seen running away.
“Inquiries into the incident are continuing.”

“Inquiries are ongoing and I would appeal to anyone with information relating to this incident to contact police on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
