Three cars set alight

POLICE are investigating after three cars were set alight in separate incidents over the weekend.

A Toyota Aygo was destroyed in a parking area off Rochdale Road, Denshaw, at around 10pm on Saturday, and Peugeot 107 was gutted in Thorpe Lane, Lees, at 2am yesterday.

Meanwhile, a stolen car was set alight and destroyed at Park Bridge Visitors' Centre.

It is believed to have been driven along a cycle path from Oldham before being pushed down a hill near to the railway viaduct and torched.

Firefighters from Hollins attended the blaze in Ashton at 1.30am on Saturday, with the terrain making access awkward.
