Balaclava-Wearing Teens Torch Ravenscraig Park Woodland
A shocking arson attack has rattled Ravenscraig Park after two masked youths deliberately set fire to the wooded area. Eyewitnesses report the pair, described sarcastically as “lovely wee bairns,” were seen lighting the blaze before speeding off on scooters.
Popular Family Spot Plunged Into Danger
Ravenscraig Park is a cherished local haven, packed with dog walkers, cyclists, and children. The fire, thankfully small and contained, sparked serious alarm across the community. Locals fear the reckless act could have sparked a much larger disaster.
Emergency Services on High Alert
Authorities were promptly informed, launching a full investigation to track down the culprits. A witness said:
“They were both on scooters and had balaclavas pulled over their faces. It’s worrying to see that kind of behaviour — setting fires in a public park could have serious consequences.”
Community Leaders Demand Action
Local councillors have voiced deep concern over rising antisocial behaviour. They’re urging parents to keep a closer eye on their kids and reminded everyone that setting fires in public spaces is a criminal offence. Police and fire officials are visiting the site to assess the damage and gather evidence.
Police Appeal for Witnesses
Anyone who saw the incident or holds information is urged to contact Police Scotland via 101, quoting the relevant incident details. The community is keen to see swift justice for what could have been a potentially devastating fire.
