Those in court were:

• Callon Brass, 21, from Eastborough, Scarborough
• Dawid Goral, 20, from Durham Street, Scarborough
• Stevie Low, 22, from Longwestgate, Scarborough

Anyone caught carrying or throwing fireworks, or wearing a mask in a firework trouble hotspot in Leeds, could be arrested in an injuction being sought by police.

The move comes as part of a move to tackle firework-related anti-social behaviour, which police say has "plagued" the Kelsalls area of the city's Burley area.

West Yorkshire Police say: "Over the bonfire night period in recent years residents have had their lives made a misery by large groups letting off fireworks, aiming them at people, homes, cars and the emergency services."

The force says: "Groups of up to 50 youths were involved in anti-social behaviour, including barricading roads, with many of those involved wearing masks, making them hard to identify."

The application to Leeds County Court for an injunction would create an exclusion zone covering the area in which anyone would be forbidden from:

• Being in possession of fireworks
• Disguising their identity
• Congregating in a group of three or more
• Behaving in a manner that is threatening or abusive

Insp Andy Loftus, said: “For weeks and months, these streets become the setting for a completely unacceptable level of behaviour which has a negative impact of the quality of life of people living there.

“This injunction, if granted, will give us much-needed additional powers to intervene at an early stage and prevent incidents before they occur."

Humberside Police say the pair were arrested after a tip-off from a member of the community.

The incident happened at about 19:30 on Monday evening when the vehicle was reversed into a property and then torched.

Police believe it was a targeted attack and say they're looking into whether it's connected to wider issues within the community.
