£20k reward offered amid probe into firebomb attack on Peter Lawwell’s home

Crimestoppers Scotland is offering a reward and appealing for anonymous information in connection with a firebomb attack on the home of Peter Lawwell.

The attack on the former Celtic FC Chief Executive’s property in the Thorntonhall area of South Lanarkshire in the early hours of May 19 has prompted a full-scale appeal and reward.

Investigations revealed that accelerant was poured onto three cars outside the property before the blaze quickly spread to a converted garage area of the house – which sustained ‘extensive damage’.

Mr Lawwell and his family were uninjured in the incident and were taken to a safe location as police investigations were carried out.

Last month detectives released two images of a man and a car seen in the area around the time of the incident that they are keen to trace.

The charity believes that there may be people in the local community who know or have suspicions about who is behind this reckless and irresponsible attack.

They are offering a reward of up to £20,000 for anonymous information they exclusively receive – via their website or by phone on 0800 555 111 – that leads to the conviction of the person or people responsible for the attack.
