A nine-year-old boy has been left too traumatised to go upstairs after his mum's car was torched by two masked men on their driveway.
Sarah Kemp, 38, said she and her son were woken in the early hours of Friday morning by banging on their front door as flames tore through the Audi Q7 parked outside. The fire, started by two men dousing petrol onto the vehicle, was so fierce it melted the doorframe and caused the plastic window frames to blister and the glass panes to crack.
Sarah believes that if it wasn't for the fact her neighbours alerted her at 1.30am on September 30 then her whole house would have gone up in flames with her and her son still inside. She said the flames were dangerously close to the gas mains at the front of the house.
