A 36-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a car fire on a petrol station forecourt.

The suspect from Hythe was held after a car was set alight while parked at the BP garage in Seabrook Road, Hythe just before midnight on December 15.

A 27-year-old man from Folkestone arrested on Tuesday in connection with the incident was released on bail until January 11.

The fire did not spread to the surrounding forecourt or cause any injuries, but it did cause severe damage to the vehicle.
