A car was almost entirely destroyed in a suspicious fire last night in Chatham.

Fire crews had some difficulty getting to the scene as the car was parked in an alleyway behind Magpie Road.

Medway fire fighters sent two pumps to the fire at 8.30pm on Tuesday.

The Mitsubishi L200 was almost completely destroyed in the fire, which fire fighters believe was deliberate.

There were no injuries and no other damage caused to surrounding properties.

Crews returned at about 9.45pm.
