POLICE are investigating after a fleet of cars were destroyed in a suspected arson at a Bradford garage. 

Crews from Fairweather Green were called to the incident at a premises on the Norcroft Industrial Estate, on Norcroft Street, at around 9pm yesterday. 

A spokesman for the crew said ten vehicles kept in a yard at the garage had been burnt out in the blaze. 

West Yorkshire Police have confirmed the incident is being investigated as arson. 

A spokesman said: "A crime of arson has been recorded and enquiries are continuing today with the fire service.

"Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting crime reference 13170516793.

"Information can also be reported anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111."

Around an hour before the incident, the same crew were en route to a call in the Charteris Road area when they came under attack from a group of four youths. 

The gang threw a wheelie bin underneath the fire engine, causing damage to the vehicle. 

Crews elsewhere across the district reported a busy Bonfire Night shift but said they had not dealt with any major incidents.
