A motorbike was destroyed in a fire believed to have been caused deliberately in Knaresborough last night.

On-call firefighters from the town were caused to a recreational area near Halfpenny Lane at 9.29pm.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident report said the motorbike was "well alight" when they arrived.

"Crews extinguished the vehicle using a hose reel jet. The motorcycle sustained 100% fire damage and the cause was believed to had been deliberate."



Knaresborough firefighters were called out earlier last night when they helped police deal with four youths on top of a commercial building on High Street.

The incident report said:

"Crews accessed the roof and politely persuaded the youths to come down from the roof via an internal stairway.
"The youths came down by their own accord and the incident was left in the hands of police."
