Police hunt vandals who damaged electricity substation

A police investigation is underway to trace vandals who damaged an electricity substation just off Gregory Road at Kirkton Campus in Livingston.

The incident took place on Saturday at around 2pm.

Scottish Power has offered a £3000 reward to anyone who provides information that leads to the conviction of those responsible.

Damage has been estimated in excess of £20,000 and caused power outages at a number of adjoining businesses. Engineers managed to reconnect homes within an hour by switching supplies onto another part of the grid.
