Speed camera blaze

Date published: 17 September 2008


A SPEED camera has been left a blackened mess after being torched by a suspected disgruntled motorist.

The camera unit in Shaw Road, Oldham, is still standing after the arson attack but it is not yet known if it remains operable.

The device could have created many enemies after snapping countless motorists breaking the speed limit over the years — but anyone caught damaging cameras could face jail.
