Both incidents took place in Stocksbridge around midnight, only a quarter of an hour apart.

The vehicles were ‘ruined’ but there were no injuries.

The first attack took place on a residential road before cars parked in Silver Fox car park, on Manchester Road, were set alight.

A spokesperson for South Yorkshire Fire said: “We thought it was quite suspicious as they happened close together - we suspect it was a deliberate attack.”
