The 10-year-old black Ford was set alight while it was parked outside the shops on Haldane Avenue at 5.45pm on Sunday.

Another local claimed the vehicle went up shortly after its occupants had got out.
A spokeswoman for the fire service said: “We first got the call at 5.40pm, one appliance was called to the scene.
“We got the final stop call at 5.55pm.”
