A fire at a garage on an industrial estate in Derby is being treated as arson by police and fire investigators.

Carmen Cars in the Peartree area caught fire early on Tuesday.

A stretch of road around the industrial site was sealed off as the blaze involved a number of gas cylinders, fire officials said.

Police want to trace any witnesses who may have seen any vehicles in the area, in particular a dark-coloured car similar to a Ford Focus.
