Horror as mum’s car ‘deliberately’ set on fire with her two children inside as cops arrest teenage girl
A CAR was reportedly deliberately set alight while two children were still in the vehicle, cops say.
A woman reported her vehicle was in flames at 10.52pm on July 18 in Tong Way, Leeds.
The incident is not thought to be linked to the rioting that broke out in nearby Harehills on the same night.
She and a neighbour brought the children to safety, and they were checked over by ambulance staff with no concerns found.
A 19-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of arson in relation to the incident and remains in custody.
West Yorkshire Police say inquiries are ongoing.
