Peterborough cars set on fire over Christmas

Firefighters from the Dogsthorpe station were called out at 5pm on Christmas Eve (Thursday) to Gladstone Street in Millfield where they discovered a “well-developed fire” involving two cars.

They extinguished the fire and had returned to their station by 6pm.

Then at 3am on Boxing Day the Peterborough Volunteer Fire Brigade was called to a fire in Cobden Avenue which is also in Millfield.

The firefighters extinguished the car fire and were back at their station by 3.50am.

Both fires were started deliberately and anyone with information should contact police by visiting www.cambs.police.uk to submit an online report, by calling 101, or by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
