## Summary

Two masked attackers set fire to a couple’s home and cars in Broughty Ferry, Dundee, in an attack captured by their Ring doorbell. The couple escaped without injury, but say the damage has left them fearful the attackers could return.

The pair woke at about 3am on 1 October to find their front door being doused with flammable liquid. Footage shows one attacker carrying a canister and another holding a machete; the fire damaged the entrance and garden, smashed a window and destroyed both cars, one of which held the couple’s wedding photographs. Police Scotland is investigating.
