A CAR believed to have been stolen from St John’s was torched in a garage fire in Dines Green last night.

The Nissan Almera and three derelict garages were destroyed in the blaze at Dudley Close at about 11pm.

Two fire engines from Worcester attended the scene and two crew members using breathing apparatus doused the flames with foam.

Police were called to assist and a stop message was received just after midnight.

The car was taken over the weekend but was not reported missing. Officers are investigating the incident and appealing for witnesses.

Anyone with information should call West Mercia Police on 03003 333000, quoting 816/S180511, or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
