A gang of arsonists smashed the window of a BMW before setting it on fire during the early hours of this morning.
After breaking the window they poured a flammable liquid into the car and torched it.
The incident took place just after midnight on Pinders Square.
Detectives are looking for four men, who were wearing dark clothing.
One of the suspects is believed to have burnt his arm,
PC Chris Raby said “This appears to be an isolated incident and thankfully nobody was injured. Arson incidents can be potentially life threatening and cause significant damage. I would encourage anybody who sights an individual fitting the description with recent burn injuries to their arm to contact West Yorkshire Police on 101.”
