Firework attack destroys two vehicles in Clitheroe
Police have asked parents in Clitheroe to check where their children were on Wednesday after two vehicles were completely destroyed by fireworks in a “reckless” and “dangerous” incident.
Police and Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service were called to the Walker Street/Taylor Street area at around 9-35pm on Wednesday, September 9th, following reports of youths setting fireworks off at a parked vehicle before running away.
Police said the incident had resulted in a nearby property and road also being damaged, and said an investigation was now under way.
A police spokesperson said: “There is anti-social behaviour and then there is arson endangering lives.”
Officers said those responsible were known to them and appealed for them to come forward.
Police are also appealing for anyone who witnessed what happened or has information to get in touch. The force has urged parents to consider where their children were on Wednesday evening.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Lancashire Police on 101, quoting log number LC-20260909-1411.
