A CAR found ablaze on the junction of two roads in Hatfield is thought to have been deliberately torched.

The vehicle was parked on the corner of Furzen Crescent and Hazel Grove when it caught fire, at about 8.50pm on Tuesday.

One fire crew from Hatfield attended the blaze, which was under control within 20 minutes.

The cause is deemed doubtful and the police have been informed.
