A CAR has been "deliberately" set on fire in Little Hulton.

Firefighters from Farnworth were called to Mill Hill at about 11pm last night to a Vauxhall car that had been set alight.

The front end of the car was destroyed in the incident, but no-one was hurt.

Crew manager Steve Coote said: “It is being investigated as deliberate but want to reassure residents that we hope this is an isolated incident.”
