Over the weekend, it has been revealed that Avon Fire and Rescue Service had to respond to over 30 deliberate fires across Bristol and South Gloucestershire, including the targetting of a Rolls Royce facility in Filton.
A new statement issued by the fire service spoke of the "disappointing" events which saw so many fires started deliberately across the Bristol region. Areas were targetted with arson attacks with vehicles set alight in each location during the early hours of Sunday morning.
Avon and Somerset Police were also involved and received the first call at around 1.30am reporting a vehicle fire in New Road, Stoke Gifford. By 5.30am there were further reports, with up to 20 vehicles set alight in locations across Filton, Bradley Stoke, Little Stoke and Stoke Gifford.
