Thugs caused £50,000 worth of damage and left thousands without mobile phone signal after a 4G phone mast was set alight in Ayrshire.
Fire crews raced to tackle the blaze at Fulshaw Wood Farm, near Ayr, at around 11.10pm on Thursday, April 9. One eyewitness described the scene as an ‘ inferno ’ as firefighters rushed to put out the flames at the 4G phone mast.
It is understood that conspiracy theorists, who believe that 5G technology is to blame for the coronavirus pandemic, are responsible for the incident.
The theory has been repeatedly rubbished by politicians and health officials. Police have launched a re-appeal for information as part of a probe into the blaze, which caused around £50,000 worth of damage.
