Arson suspected at Glasgow pub

Police in Scotland want to speak to two men thought to be in their teens or early 20’s, who were seen on the roof of a pub in Glasgow just a short time before a fire started

The Fire Service were called to the Roo pub in Nitshill Road at around 12.45am on 30th January.

Detective constable Alexander Ward, from Pollok CID, said: “Thankfully no one was injured as a result of this wilful fire raising. We are currently checking CCTV and carrying out extensive inquiries to trace the people responsible. I am keen to trace the two men who were seen by the public on the roof of the Roo shortly before the fire was started.”

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRO) requires a fire risk assessment to be carried out and the relevant records made on all premises with five or more employees. Assured can provide a fire risk assessment package which is tailored to your building and business requirements and which also complies with the Regulatory Reform Order (Fire Safety Law) from just £250.00 +VAT.
