A GARAGE was filled with flames after an arson attack in Clacton.

Firefighters were called to a blaze in a derelict garage in Knox Road on Monday evening.

Two crews arrived at about 6.20pm and found the structure was 100 per cent alight. They managed to extinguish the blaze in about 20 minutes.

Investigators said the fire was started deliberately and caught hold quickly as the garage was filled with rubbish.
