Dramatic footage shows a scene of devastation in Sheffield after a suspected arsonist set fire to more than 50 vehicles.

Scorched remains of cars, vans and motorbikes can be seen at a compound in Parkway Drive.

Ten fire engines were needed to extinguish the blaze, which police believe was started deliberately.
