Arsonist torches two cars in Rickinghall, near Diss

Two cars parked behind a house were deliberately set on fire in a Suffolk village.

A suspect pulled up in a black saloon vehicle next to the victim’s address in The Chestnuts, Rickinghall, just before 1am on Friday and walked to the back of the property setting fire to a grey Ford Focus and a red Ford Fiesta, next to the garden wall.

The suspect then left the scene. It is likely, said Suffolk Police, that the suspect would have some burns injuries.

Anyone who saw or heard any suspicious behaviour should contact Suffolk Police on 101 quoting crime number 37/60788/24 or 37/60786/24 or make a report
