A fire which broke out on a boat in Northwich is believed to have been an act of arson.

A spokesperson for Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "It is believed that this fire was started deliberately.

"If you can help find those responsible please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, or call Cheshire police on 101."
