Police fear spate of arson attacks was "targeted"

THREE vehicles and two homes were set alight in one night, in what police fear was a series of targeted arson attacks.

The incidents happened between 10pm-4am last Tuesday (October 16) and detectives believe that they were calculated crimes, as opposed to random acts of anti-social behaviour.

The incidents took place in Carisbrooke Avenue, Chelmsley Road and Settle Croft, all on Chelmsley Wood, and at a fourth location, in Daren Close, Smith's Wood. 

If you witnessed anything, or have either CCTV or dashcam footage which may have captured anything of use, police are urging you to get in touch. 

Call Solihull Police on 101 or contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
