Arson in the Park!

 

2-30AM Scene

The scene around 2:30AM with Emergency Services in Attendance

  • Just a little late for our March Web News, there was a surprising event (shown above) in Furness Park towards the Blackburn Road end last night.
  • Chris, our reporter and photographer on the spot, tells us the event occurred early this morning (3rd April) at about 2:30am. What was presumably a stolen Toyota Hilux was dumped in the park and set alight.
  • The problem was soon attended by police and the fire brigade who extinguished the blaze:

After the fire…

  • Fortunately the park vegetation was quite damp after recent rains.
