A number of vehicles were destroyed in a suspected deliberate fire at a Glasgow garage, police have confirmed.

Emergency services were called to Causewayside Street in the Tollcross area at around 12.40am on Tuesday, August 25.

Police Scotland said several vehicles were found on fire at the premises.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service extinguished the blaze and no injuries were reported.

Images from the scene published by The Sun showed a number of heavily damaged vehicles inside a cordoned-off garage yard.

The incident comes after a series of suspected deliberate attacks across Greater Glasgow and East Dunbartonshire in recent days.

As previously reported, officers have been investigating a number of incidents including a car fire at a garage in Kirkintilloch and a vehicle being driven into a property in Eaglesham.

However, police have not linked the Causewayside Street fire to any other incidents.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We were made aware of a number of vehicles on fire at a garage on Causewayside Street in Glasgow around 12.40am on Tuesday, 25 August, 2026.

"The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service extinguished the fire and no one was injured.

"The fire is being treated as a wilful and enquiries are ongoing.

"Anyone with information can call 101, quoting reference 0109 of 25 August."
