A front door was damaged and a pile of rubbish was set alight in Leslie on Sunday night, prompting a police investigation.Police Sergeant Cheryl Young of Glenrothes Police Station said: "I am appealing to anyone who may have noticed any suspicious activity in the Bank Place area in the early hours and early evening of Sunday 10 May to get in touch with police as soon as possible.

“I would also appeal to anyone with private CCTV in the surrounding areas to contact police. This behaviour could easily have had more devastating consequences and at such a difficult time for both the public and the emergency services. There is no place for such disregard for public safety in our communities and this incident will be robustly investigated.”
