Police are appealing for information following a fire in Clyde over the weekend.

Emergency services were called to a property on Newcastle Street about 5.15am on Sunday 24 March after a neighbour saw flames.

Minutes earlier the neighbour had heard glass breaking and a vehicle leaving at speed.

No one was home at the time.

Initial enquires by fire investigators and Police indicate the fire was deliberately lit.
