Stolen car destroyed in fire

Firefighters were called to the car park at Wilson playing fields, off The Grove, Ince, at 11pm.

A silver Vauxhall Corsa had been set alight and was completely burnt out.

Craig Cubbins, crew manager at Hindley fire station, highlighted the problems that car fires can cause.

He said: “It’s a massive drain on resources and a big environmental impact with all the chemicals in cars.

“Wigan Council will be footing the bill to clean up.”
