Police in Aberdeen are appealing for people in the Torry community to provide information regarding several deliberate fires started in the area over the past ten days.

They say that several communal bins have been targeted.

Officers have already been going door-to-door to speak to residence and obtain CCTV.

Sergeant Chris Wilson, of the Torry Community Policing Team, said:

“There have been more suspicious fires in recent weeks. Fortunately no-one has been injured by these fires, however they’ve had the potential to cause significant damage and serious harm. I am appealing to anyone who knows anything to come forward and speak to Officers."

"I am also appealing to members of the community who have private CCTV cameras or dash cams on Balnagask Road, Balnagask Avenue, Farquhar Road, Burnbank Terrace, Lochnagar Road, Girdleness Road, Abbey Square, and the surrounding areas to contact Police so enquiry can be made.”
