City and Holbeck CID have released CCTV footage on YouTube of an arson in Morley as part of an appeal for witnesses and information.

 

 

A white Ford Transit van was set alight outside a house on Corporation Street at around 11.05pm on Saturday, 11 June.

The van was completely destroyed and the house also suffered heat damage.
