Arsonist James Duncanson was caught on camera torching cars outside a Tyneside garage in a "sinister" attack on behalf of shadowy underworld figures.
The brazen firestarter squirted accelerant on four cars awaiting repairs or MOTs then set them on fire. A court heard he was acting on the orders of others, to whom he was in debt.
Duncanson caused thousands of pounds of damage and left the business owner living in fear. He also threw a brick through the window of a family in an unrelated attack.
