A new van was torched by arsonists in a car park today.

The Ford Transit was parked in Cote Street car park, Worthing, when the blaze took hold.

A crew from Worthing Fire Station attended the scene at about 8.30am and extinguished the fire.

The van, which had only been on the road a few months, was completely destroyed.

Police say they are treating the incident as suspicious.

Although I cannot be certain, I would say that the bicycle was, in my opinion, almost certainly stolen by "bicycle thieves". Though it may have just as easily have been stolen by arsonists, some of who are multi-skilled.

Don't mention it.

As Colombo would say
Where did you buy them shoes sir?
And do they come in Brown
And going by the smell of gasoline and the arsonist note on the windscreen it must be murder
Oh yes just one more thing.

Spoke to somebody at New Scotland Yard and they found a puddle where Daphne's sons bike was and now assume the bike melted because it was made out of ice. case solved. if you have any other mysteries to solve just call Inspector Clueless
