Yobs set fire to Kilmarnock house after torching fly-tipped bed

Mindless yobs set fire to a Kilmarnock house last night after torching fly-tipped rubbish that was lying against it.
Iona Wright, whose son and his girlfriend were at the property at the time of the blaze, said the fire attack could've had much more serious consequences.

Iona added: "Firefighters actually had to rip the wall off to make sure no embers were there and our cladding has actually melted, which it shouldn't have.
"Thankfully everyone is safe and there is no
