AN ARSON attack in which three blazes were deliberately lit around a house in Keighley was tackled by firefighters in the early hours of Friday morning.

Rubbish piled beneath a window, an area of decking and also a wheelie bin to the side of the property in Foster Gardens were set alight shortly before 6am.

The elderly resident was alerted by neighbours and the house only suffered minor damage to the window above one of the fires.

Firecrews from Keighley and Bingley quickly put out the blazes and were joined at the scene by police due to the criminal nature of the incident which is now being investigated.
