Cars 'completely destroyed' in late night fire

Fire crews were called at 11.20pm to Brunswick Court, a cul-de-sac off Davenport Street not far from the town centre.

When they arrived the firefighters, from Bolton Central Fire Station, found two cars that were on fire in the street.

The blazes were extinguished after about an hour, with one fire engine attending the scene.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said the incident had now been handed off to the police.

Officers are thought to be investigating over suspicions that the fires were started deliberately.
