Police investigating an alleged firebomb attack on a family car have arrested a man.

Nataliee Simpson’s Peugeot 206 was torched in a shocking attack caught on CCTV. It happened late on Tuesday night last week outside her home in Dewsbury Moor. Her three young sons slept just yards away.

Officers have since questioned a man over the fire, which has left Nataliee’s sons traumatised and destroyed some of their possessions which had been left in the car.
