Police today appealed for witnesses after three cars, a house and two commercial premises were targeted in 24 hours in Dewsbury.

As reported in yesterday's YEP, three of the incidents were on buildings or cars linked to the same extended family.

A police spokesman said all the fires happened on Tuesday and most were believed to have been started using petrol.
The first happened at 2.15am when police received a report of an arson at the Old Moonlight Cafe on Halifax Road, Dewsbury, where it is thought the windows were smashed using bricks.
At 3am police were called to a BMW which had been set alight in Hunza Court, off Hope Street, Dewsbury.
At 9.55pm police were called to another arson at a stone detached house at Moor End Lane, Dewsbury.
A window was broken and it is believed petrol was used to ignite the door and window frame.
Three adults and a six-month-old baby were rescued from a balcony.
Police were then called to Headfield Road, Thornhill Lees, at 10.31pm to a reported arson on a Honda Civic.
Witnesses saw four men damage the car and then get into a dark Toyota Corolla-type vehicle.
At 10.32pm police were called by the fire service who at 9pm had been called to a fire at Highgate Beds in Kashmir House mill on Bradford Street in Dewsbury.
A metal grille was removed from a window before it was smashed and petrol poured inside and lit.
Director Mohammed Mahroof told the YEP: "This is not just vandalism. Whoever did this has to realise it won't just affect us, it also affects 50 workers who are from a mixed community, including English, Indian, Pakistani and Iraqi backgrounds."
Finally at 11pm police were called to Hebble Court, Thornhill Lees, where a blue Lexus had been set on fire.
The police spokesman added: "At this stage police are pursuing the possibility of a link between the offences. However, enquiries are currently ongoing."
