A CAR blaze on Petersgate is believed to have been started deliberately.

Firefighters were called to the scene at around 9.25pm last night, Saturday, after reports of a burning car.

The crew used a hose reel jet to tackle the flames and damp down the area.

They are appealing for anyone with information about the suspected arson attack to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
