Police are hunting the drivers of a car that was found burning after a crash near Kirriemuir in the early hours of Friday morning.
Officers are appealing for information after the abandoned vehicle – thought to be a Volkswagen Polo – was found still burning on an unclassified road near Caddam Wood and the B955 in Kirriemuir.
Police found the vehicle at 6.45am on Friday, 14 August with fire investigators suggesting it was likely burning from around 1am.
PC Sophie Stuart, Forfar Police Station, warned the fire could have caused more serious damage.
She said: “The car was found crashed into a wall and was left on fire for several hours before it was reported to emergency services – it’s very fortunate that there was not greater damage to the surrounding area.
“We’re appealing for any nearby residents who may have seen a car similar to a Polo being driven in a suspicious manner around Kirriemuir on Thursday evening into the early hours of Friday.”
