A teenager has been charged following a fire at a north-east property yesterday morning.
Three fire appliances attended the blaze at a residential property on High Street in Fraserburgh at about 9.05am.
They spent more than three hours at the scene extinguishing the fire and making the area safe.
Police also attended to close off Broad Street to give the firefighters room to fight the flames.
Now, a 17-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the incident.
He will appear at Peterhead Sheriff Court at a later date.
