Police are appealing for witnesses after a black Renault Megane car, parked on the northern side of the road at the junction of West Parade and Anscombe Road, Worthing, was found to be on fire at around 3.55am on Tuesday, December 19.

Firefighters who attended to put out the blaze believe that the vehicle, parked at the location shortly before 9.30pm the previous evening, may have been deliberately set on fire, police said.
