Estate arson attacks linked

concern is growing following a series of arson attacks on a West Yorkshire housing estate that are being linked by police.

Four cars on the Cottingley estate in Leeds were set alight last Friday. A dustbin in the bin cupboard of a home was then torched in the early hours of Sunday.

In the latest incident, on Tuesday, a pile of rubbish was set on fire outside the doors of Cottingley Towers flats.

Det Con Clare Fisher, of City and Holbeck CID, said the fires posed “obvious risks to residents”.
