SPEEDER BLAMED FOR SETTING FIRE TO £30K ROAD SAFETY CAMERA P&J
10 September 2007
cwalker@ajl.co.uk A Disgruntled driver was today blamed for torching a £30,000 speed camera on a busy commuter route.
The fire is the latest vandal attack on speed cameras across the North-east.
The unit was today due to be examined to see if it could be repaired or whether it would need to be replaced.
The camera, on the A96 Aberdeen to Inverurie road at Marshall Trailers on the Tyrebagger, was targeted around 4am yesterday.
Julie Milne, of the North-east Safety Camera Partnership (NESCAMP), said: "I would think it would be someone disgruntled having received a fine.
"But the cameras are there for people's safety, not to catch people out. "They are only on the roads where there is a speed problem."
A police spokesman said: "We got a call about the camera being on fire and Grampian Fire and Rescue Service quickly extinguished it.
"The incident is being treated as wilful fireraising."
A Grampian Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "A member of the public who was passing the camera called at 4.09am reporting it was on fire.
"One unit from Dyce went out and put out the fire."
In October last year a tyre was thrown over a camera on Aberdeen's Great Northern Road, near Woodside's Queen Street, and set on fire.
In 2005 yobs torched a camera on the A90 Peterhead to Fraserburgh road and in June, 2004, the same camera hit in the latest attack and one on the A96 outside the Moathouse Hotel in Auchmill Road, Bucksburn, were also damaged.
