A SPEED CAMERA torched by arsonists has been struck again.

For the second night running, firestarters threw a tyre over the camera on Woodhead Road, Lockwood, and set fire to it.

The incident happened near the Jet petrol station at around 11.40pm on Thursday.

Huddersfield firefighters were called to the scene despite dealing with a blaze at the same spot on Wednesday night.

It is believed the camera will now need repairing.

Anyone with information should call police on 0845 6060606.
