Arrests after car fire attack caught on camera

Doorbell camera footage showed three cars on fire on the driveway

Three people have been arrested in connection with an arson attack that was captured on a doorbell camera.

Personal trainer Mike Hind was filmed running naked from his Middlesbrough house in May, screaming to his wife and three children to "get out".

A man, 49, and a 38-year-old woman have been arrested on suspicion of arson and stalking, while another woman, 26, was also arrested on suspicion of stalking, Cleveland Police said.

All three were released on bail pending further investigation, the force said.

Cleveland Police said the three were taken into custody on Friday and questioned on suspicion of stalking involving fear of violence.

The man and older woman were also questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life.

Mr Hind, who was appointed MBE in 2022 for charitable work during the Covid pandemic, shared the footage after his property in Marton was targeted in the very early hours of 21 May.

The doorbell alerted him to somebody on his drive and, after seeing an orange flash, he looked out to see three cars on fire.

Officers said they carried out house-to-house inquiries and forensic work as part of their investigation.
