Spate of car and van fires in Wath

They were called to a car fire on Church Street at 1.50am and a transit van five minutes later at Norton Road.

Shortly after 2am, a Citroen van was alight on Valley Drive and crews also dealt with a people carrier on fire on Montgomery Road at 2.30am.

All were started deliberately, a spokeswoman for South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue confirmed, except the transit, which so far has no cause recorded.
