Police in Scotland have launched an investigation after four vehicles were damaged in a suspected arson attack on a used car dealership.
Officers were called to A.I.M Auto Sales in Dundee shortly before 12.40am on Friday (November 6) after reports of several vehicles being on fire.
The blaze also damaged a laundry service machine at the premises, which houses a car wash and garage alongside the dealership.
