Detectives are looking for 'anything suspicious' after a devastating fire at a hotel.
We reported that Dumbuck House Hotel in Dumbarton had become engulfed in flames at around 9pm on Sunday night.
It is the second fire in under a month the derelict building on Glasgow Road has been set alight, with another blaze occurring on June 27.
The fire was put out by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and thankfully no one was injured.
Officers are treating this fire as a deliberate act and are now urging any witnesses who saw anything to get in touch.

“If you were in the area at the time please check any dash-cam footage to see if there is anything that could help with our investigation. Likewise, if you have private CCTV.”
