A mayor in South Gloucestershire has said he has been left "totally shocked" after two council vehicles were targeted on Sunday in a succession of believed arson attacks.
Mayor and chair of Bradley Stoke Town Council, Tom Aditya, has spoken out about the series of fires that left two town council vehicles completely burnt out this morning (April 3). They were just two of up to 20 vehicles set on fire in several areas of South Gloucestershire, including New Road, Stoke Gifford shortly before 1.30am and the Rolls Royce centre in Filton.
One resident said they awoke to loud bangs coming from the Rolls Royce car park, which police said was due to fuel tanks exploding. A truck owned by Stoke Gifford Parish Council was also targeted. Bristol Live has approached Rolls Royce for comment.
