A CAR was torched in a Keighley street early this morning.

A spokesman for Keighley Fire Station said he believed the vehicle, which was in Thwaites Brow Road, had been abandoned before being deliberately set ablaze.

He said that the Keighley fire crew was alerted at 1.15am, adding that the Suzuki Swift was already well alight by the time the crew arrived. The car was left completely burned out.
