AN investigation is under way after a car was thought to have been set alight in the middle of a quiet Pendle estate.

Neighbours were awoken by the sound of the car, thought to be a taxi, as it burned in Chatburn Park Drive just before midnight yesterday.

A Lancashire Fire and Rescue Services spokesman said a crew from Nelson fire station was called to deal with the incident.

They were able to contain the blaze to the vehicle, which was destroyed as a result of the fire.

Fire service officials confirmed that the cause of the fire was believed to be suspicious and officers from Lancashire Police, who also attended, are investigating.
