ARSONISTS are believed to have set a car on fire near St Neots last night.

The blaze on the B1046 between Abbotsley and St Neots was reported to firefighters just after midnight. It took a crew from St Neots under an hour to extinguish the flames. They used two hose reels and two breathing apparatus.

Police are now appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
