A local councillor has spoken out after a number of vehicles were set on fire in South Gloucestershire yesterday (Sunday, April 3.) About 23 vehicles were deliberately set alight in Stoke Gifford, Bradley Stoke and Little Stoke - including about 20 at a Rolls Royce site in Filton.
Bradley Stoke North councillor Angela Morey has slammed the spate of arson attacks, which police and fire are investigating, as a "cruel act," adding yesterday was a "low day for our happy area." It's believed some of the vehicles set alight at the Rolls Royce facility were minibuses used by schools and vulnerable members of the community.
"Such a low day for our happy area," Cllr Morey said on Twitter. "Can’t believe the malice in torching the four towns community minibuses, a vital service for so many in north Bristol. This cruel act has long lasting repercussions and I will do whatever I can to help. Call 101 with any information."
