CCTV footage of two arsonists torching a car parked outside its owners house in Whalley Range has been released by police.
Around 1.40am on Friday May 23, two men approached a white Toyota Aygo and a black Mercedes Benz which were parked outside a house on Vaughan Road.
One of the men smashed a window of the Mercedes while the other poured an accelerant inside before setting it alight.
