The Keighley fire crew was called to Spring Avenue, Long Lee, at 12.48am.

Keighley Fire Station watch commander Richard Lightowler said both cars were well ablaze by the time the fire engine reached the scene.

"We were there for about a couple of hours to make sure everything was safe," he added.

"One of the cars was completely burned out, while the owners were able to salvage some things from inside the second car.

"Police are involved as it looks like both fires were started deliberately."
