There's an appeal for witnesses after a van was set on fire in Perth last night -- the second incident in a week on the same street.
Around 11.30pm on Wednesday, 20 October, emergency services were alerted after the white Peugeot van was set alight on Dunkeld Road.
The fire was extinguished and no injuries were reported.
