POLICE investigating a fire in Glasgow say they want to find three youths who were seen in the area at the time.

Their appeal comes after an under-construction building in the Riverford Gardens housing development went up in flames on Friday night.

The force said detectives are working with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service to establish the cause of the fire at the flats that are under construction, however, at this time officers are appealing for information to trace three youths who were seen at the flats around the time the fire started.

Detective Constable Alyson Dowds said: “We are working to identify the three people who were seen entering Riverford Gardens around 6pm on Friday evening, they were in the area for about 15 minutes then left heading towards Riverford Road.

“The three of them were wearing dark coloured hooded jackets. One of them had fair coloured hair and one had dark-coloured hair. Two of them were wearing dark-coloured trousers with the other one wearing light-coloured jogging bottoms.

“We have been carrying out enquiries in the local area and studying CCTV footage to gather more information. I would ask anyone who may have seen these youths in the area to contact Helen Street Police Station through 101 quoting reference number 3331 of 27th December 2019.”
