One man, who asked not to be named, said: "Obviously we are shocked and worried about the possibility of further arson attacks.

"The police have advised people to move their cars to a safer place if they're worried but that's not always feasible.

"They have been asking for CCTV footage to see if they can catch the arsonist."

Police confirmed today that the second incident is being treated as arson and enquiries are ongoing.
