Three teenagers appeared in Court yesterday accused of arson following a blaze at a house in Keighley.

Two 17-year-old youths and a boy, 16, who all cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared at Bradford Youth Court following the blaze in Devonshire Street West, Highfield, at about 3.30am on Tuesday.

They were arrested shortly after the fire, which destroyed the downstairs of a rented end-terrace house.

A joint investigation between Airedale and North Bradford CID and fire service experts was continuing yesterday.
