A £5,000 reward is being offered to catch the person who set fire to a cricket club in West Lothian.

The blaze was started in the early hours of Wednesday at Fauldhouse Cricket Club.

The blaze, which was attended by about 35 firefighters, took four hours to bring under control.

Lothian and Borders Police said it was now "likely" the club building would have to be demolished and rebuilt as a result of the fire.

The owner of the premises has put up a £5,000 reward for any information that can help track down whoever is responsible for setting the blaze.

A Lothian and Borders Police spokesman said: "Investigations have confirmed that the fire was deliberately set, and the owner of the premises is now offering a cash reward for any information that can lead to the successful prosecution of the person or persons responsible.

"Anyone who noticed anyone acting suspiciously in the vicinity of Fauldhouse Cricket Club in the early hours of Wednesday is urged to contact the police immediately.

"Similarly, anyone who has any other information that can assist our enquiries should also get in touch."
