Vandals flee from Bo’ness Bowling Club blaze

Police and firefighters last night foiled a bid to torch the former Bo’ness Bowling Club site, where furniture - presumably after a break-in - had been deliberately set alight.

A group of five or six youths were seen running away from the Grange Terrace premises shortly before emergency services arrived.

The fire was put out before it could spread to the whole building.

Club members voted to close the former club permanently in late 2017 because of dwindling membership.
