Family left distressed after petrol-bomb exploded parked car

A family has been left "distressed" after witnessing their car exploding in the driveway in Sea Mills.

The car was "petrol-bombed" before becoming engulfed in flames around midnight on September 25.

A mum described the shocking moment she was in her Brookleaze home with her 19-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter.

Police are appealing for witnesses and say a suspect, wearing what appeared to be grey coloured tracksuit, was seen leaving the area shortly after the incident.

An Avon Fire and Rescue Service spokesman confirmed the cause is thought to be deliberate.
