Beeston woman 'scared' after fire destroys her car and two others on street

A Beeston woman says that she was left with "goosebumps" after her car was 'burnt down' in the early hours of the morning. Petra Jakus, 35, moved to Nottinghamshire from London and says that she has never had any trouble at her address on Anslow Avenue before.

But at around 4.30am on Sunday (October 2), Petra's car was on fire and the splitting of its fuel tank meant that two other cars on the street were destroyed as well. Petra said: "It looks like they burnt my car down on purpose and then the two other cars were destroyed when the fuel leaked down the road.

"It could have been that my car was chosen completely at random, but I would just like to be sure because this has left me and my partner scared. This has to be stopped because we came to Beeston six years ago and we have never had any problems, we love Nottingham.
