Officers are appealing for witnesses to come forward after two cars were deliberately set on fire in Lowestoft.

Fire crews used four breathing apparatus and two hose reels to put out the fire, which was under control by 4.10am.
A brigade spokesman added: 'The cause is believed to be deliberate.'
Any information should be directed to Suffolk Police on 101, quoting 37/39570/16
