A car has been damaged after it was torched by arsonists in the early hours of the morning.

Fire crews were called to the blaze on Connor Crescent, near Kingsmill Road and Whitegate Road at 5:37am this morning.

One hose reel jet was used to extinguish the fire, which caused 20% damage to the rear wheel arch and 15% damage to the interior of the vehicle.

A spokesman for North Wales Fire and Rescue Service confirmed the cause of fire was deliberate ignition.

Over recent weeks various projects have been launched in a bid to tackle issues with arson in the Wrexham area – including public meetings being held and rewards being offered.
