Police and fire investigators are treating a car which was torched and then set damaged a house and garden in Bristol as an arson attack.
The car was parked in Lynton Way in Frenchay and was left burned out by the blaze, which started just after 3am this morning, March 26.
The fire was so big that it spread to the garden fence, greenhouse and shed in the garden of a nearby home, and also damaged the fascia of the bungalow.

Two fire crews from Kingswood Fire Station were mobilised and two firefighters donned breathing apparatus to tackle the blaze, using hose reels.
“We were called at 3.05am to a car on fire in Lynton Way and arrived to discover the fire was affecting adjoining properties,” said a spokesperson for Avon Fire and Rescue Service.
“The cause of the fire was deliberate,” she added.
