The suspects then made off on foot heading for the main road.

DC Dan Ashton, of Kirklees District CID, said: “The suspects involved have acted with no thought as to the danger their actions have posed, as demonstrated by the fact that the fire they set spread to a building.

“We are releasing CCTV images of the incident to illustrate what took place and while they clearly are very dark they do show a general outline of the persons we would want to speak with.
