A scooter was set alight and left to burn in a suspected arson attack.

Firefighters were called to the blaze in Strasbourg Road, on the Doddington Estate, Battersea, last night.

A member of the public walking past alerted them to the fire just before 11pm.

The vehicle was left completely damaged, with nobody around at the time.

It is believed the scooter had been stolen as the license plate was removed.

Police are investigating.
