Arsonists are believed to be behind two car fires in Oxford in the early hours.

At 1.15am this morning firefighters were called to a car park in St Leonard's Road, Headington, to deal with a vehicle destroyed by fire.

And at 5.20am, a burning car was reported dumped in a pick-your-own field near Shepherd's Pit, off Bayswater Road, in Barton.

The vehicle was destroyed by the blaze and a crew from the Slade fire station made the scene safe by 7.30am.

The fire service said both incidents were being treated as arson.
