A ‘devastated' mother-of-four has told of her 'anguish' at her car being torched by thugs. The blaze came as part of a suspected arson spree in the area of Erdington, Birmingham on Thursday May 4.
Carlene Behan, who was in the first year of becoming a new driver, was shocked as her Peugeot 207 was broken in to and the arsonists lit a can of lighter gas and threw it in the glove compartment before walking away casually from the fire, reports BirminghamLive.
The incident, which occurred on Jaffray Road, is believed to be part of a spree of fires with the pair in question being seen on CCTV torching a vehicle at a nearby junction while a mattress was set ablaze, with the fire spreading to two homes and another car, on a street close by.
