A MAN has been arrested after a petrol bomb was thrown at a home in Little Harwood on Saturday morning.

The man is being questioned by police following the incident in Zion Road at around 6am.

A spokesman for Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service said: “There was not much damage because when it has landed it has put itself out.

“We are obviously taking this very, very seriously and the area was cordoned off.”

A spokesperson for Lancashire Constabulary confirmed detectives had launched an investigation and were quizzing the suspect.

Anyone with information should call Blackburn police on 01254 51212 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
