Police have launched an investigation into a deliberate fire at a Stirling industrial estate.

Emergency services were called to Springkerse Industrial Estate shortly after 9.30pm on Friday after receiving reports a transit van was on fire.

The fire service spent just over two hours tackling the blaze at the Whitehouse Road site.

Pictures posted on social media by Rivivo Furniture Shop showed three burn-out vehicles taped off by police.

The antique firm was unaffected by the blaze.

Police have now confirmed they are treating the fire as deliberate.
