POLICE are hunting two men they believe set a truck on fire and vandalised a house on the same night.

First a property on Blackburn Road, Darwen, was broken into at around 10pm on Sunday. The front door was forced open and the duo smashed up property inside the house.

Then later at 12.10am two males set fire to a truck parked in an alleyway off Falcon Road, Darwen. The front driver's end was destroyed in the ensuing blaze.

Police conducted enquiries and were able to obtain descriptions that led them to believe the incidents were connected.

One was said to be a white male, in his twenties, six feet tall, of stocky build, and fair shaped hair. He had a white t-shirt and black shorts. The other was described as six feet tall and wearing a coloured hooded top.

Anyone with information should contact Darwen CID on 01254 353842.
