Arson suspected as blaze destroys caravan

Lothian and Borders Police are treating the incident as wilful fire-raising

A caravan was razed to the ground shortly before midnight on Saturday in the Borders area of Scotland.

The Charisma tourer was parked just outside Tweedside Caravan Park, near Innerleithen when it was set alight.

Lothian and Borders Police are treating the incident as wilful fire-raising and are looking for youths believed to have been spotted in the park when the incident occurred.

The tourer had been parked just outside the park for several weeks was valued at around £12,000 and was completely destroyed. The owners who were not staying in the caravan at the time were unhurt.

A police spokesman commented: “This mindless act of destruction has left the owner of the caravan out of pocket, though, thankfully, uninjured.”
