Appeal following wilful fire-raising in Paisley

Detectives are appealing for information following a wilful fire-raising in Paisley.

Around 12.20pm on Tuesday, 5 August 2025, we received a report that a Grey Vauxhall Corsa had been deliberately set on fire outside a property on Ferguslie Park Avenue.

The fire is believed to have happened between the hours of 9.10pm on Monday, 4 August and 8.15am on Tuesday, 5 August 2025.

Detective Constable Jack McElwee said: “Our enquiries are ongoing into this incident, and I am asking anyone who might have been in the area and saw something to get in touch.

“Similarly, anyone in the area with private CCTV or dash-cam footage that might have captured anything that could be useful in our investigation is urged to contact us.”

Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland 101 quoting incident number 1328 of 5 August, 2025. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Police Scotland support those who wish to become police officers, special constables or police staff by hosting various online and in-person recruitment events throughout the year.
