Children were forced to flee a Scots cinema after a group of youths allegedly started a fire in the toilets.
Emergency services were called to Bathgate Cinema on George Street in West Lothian where customers had been evacuated at 8pm on Saturday October 28.
The independently run businesses hit out at the culprits on social media, claiming a group had set a toilet roll on fire in the male toilets, putting "people's lives at risk". Children attending a special screening were left "scared" and out in the cold rain in just their PJ's after being evacuated.
A social media post read: "Unfortunately we have had arson in our cinema this evening. A group of boys have entered the premises and set a toilet roll on fire in the boys toilets and left.
"This has caused our fire alarm to go off and we have had to evacuate our customers from the building. Fire brigade have had to come out and put the fire out and police have been out and we have face recognition and CCTV of the culprits which has been passed on to the police.
"We are an independently ran business and it’s really upsetting that people have done this , putting peoples lives as risk not to mention damages and loss of money."
