Borders A1 Camera set on FIRE
Shortly before midnight on Saturday near to the Dunglass roundabout at Cocknburnspath in Berwickshire, one of the speed cameras of the Scottish border. The amount of damage to the camera and the region around it is about $22,000. From 2004 to this most recent incident, at least 20 cameras have been set alight. There have been many other incidences of the vandalizism and damage of speed cameras not only in Berwickshire, but other regions of Scotland. The A68 near St. Boswells was stolen, as well as much damage to near by cameras in Earlstonand Oxton. Lothian and Borders Police have appealed to many locals about this incident, but none have provided sufficient information. The motivation of the vandalizer is also unknown, but the Scottish Borders Council's executive member says: "If a camera has been installed at a specific location, it is there for a very good reason - to prevent accidents and deter motorists from speeding." More action is being taken place by Scottish authorities to protect these speed cameras and prevent damages to the remaining borders.
