Vehicles damaged in suspected arson attack

The fire spread from a motorbike to a car, parked in Welbeck Road, near Wilford Suspension Bridge, the fire service said.

A car and motorbike were badly damaged in a suspected arson attack, a fire service has said.

Firefighters were called to Welbeck Road in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, at 06:50 GMT on Monday where a motorbike fire had spread to a parked car.

A spokesperson for Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "Police have been notified as it is suspected deliberate ignition."

Nobody was in the car at the time of the fire.

The owner of the car, Vanessa Smith, whose business number was printed on the back of vehicle, was informed about the blaze by firefighters.

"It's the last thing I needed but it could have been a lot worse," the 51-year-old said.

"The bike looked like it had been dumped there."

Nottinghamshire Police said it was believed a moped or motorcycle had been leaning on the car when it was set on fire.

The force added it was investigating an incident of criminal damage.
