Detectives in Glasgow are appealing for information after a trailer was set on fire in a yard, causing around £80,000 worth of damage.
It happened in the Swanston Street area overnight between Thursday 23rd - Friday 24th June.
The trailer contained a section of a fairground ride, which has been significantly damaged as part of the blaze.
Police say they are looking to identify four young people seen around the area at the time of the incident.
They are described as being two boys and two girls, all around 14 or 15-years-old.
