A POLICE car has had to be ‘taken out of service’ after an attempt to be set on fire outside Maybole Police Station.
On Wednesday. July 18 between 2am and 4am, a marked emergency police vehicle was targeted by two people who attempted to set it on fire and caused extensive damage, which has resulted in the vehicle being taken out of service for repair.
Officers from South Ayrshire are now appealing for any information following the incident.
Community Inspector John Hamilton said: “Enquires are ongoing to identify those responsible.
"This not only impacts on our local community but can cause a negative effect on how policing is delivered in the area whilst this vehicle is being repaired.
"I would encourage anyone with information to contact the local policing team.”
Anyone with information can pass this to CID officers at Ayr Police Station by calling 101, quoting incident number 0511 of the 18th July 2018. Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crime stoppers on 0800 555 111 where anonymity can be maintained.
