The flames were extinguished and no one was hurt, according to police who have also stated that the occupants of a dark-coloured car are thought to have been involved in the incident in which the window was broken.

Appealing for information, Detective Inspector Carmichael said: “These were despicable and totally reckless acts. Those who carried them out showed a total disregard for the safety of anyone in the house, or those working to repair the damage.”

Information can be given on the police non-emergency number, 101, or by calling the Crimestoppers Charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.
