An investigation's underway after a man tried to set a car on fire in Dundee- by throwing a bottle of lit flammable liquid at it.
It happened in Baldovie Place in Douglas, on Monday 27th November, over a week ago, but officers are still no further forward with finding the person responsible.
They are looking for a man, around 5 foot 10 inches, who was wearing a grey hooded top and grey tracksuit bottoms at the time.
He was seen setting the bottle on fire, and then launching it at a red Volkswagen Up, which was parked in a driveway.
The vehicle didn't go up in flames, but it was severely damaged, and police want to stress just how serious the consequences could have been.
A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “While it is appreciated that this happened over a week ago and was quite late at night, the consequences of this incident could have been horrendous.
