AN ARSON attack in Tiverton last night has left a car severly damaged.

One fire engine from Tiverton was sent to the scene in Sycamore Road, shortly after 1pm this morning (August 30).

The call out followed several calls from the public, and on arrival crews confirmed that a vehicle was "well alight".

They extinguished the fire using a hose reel jet and small tools.

The cause of the fire is thought to be deliberate and resulted in the vehicle being severely damaged.
