Police hunt Wem car arsonists

Two vehicle fires which started moments apart in a north Shropshire street are being treated as arson by police.

Flames took hold of two vehicles in Pyms Road, Wem, just after 4.15am yesterday.

As firefighters tackled the first blaze at a Vauxhall Combi van parked on the road, a resident ran to report a second fire involving a Toyota Yaris.
